You're going to populate this disk with music from some other device though, so it might be easier to do all this on that device and then connect it to your pi. But there are multiple ways to do everything...

You've hit the nail on the head there!
In the past....I've done all formatting etc of HDDs/SSDs on the PC....using disk management, and it's been a doddle!
With the M.2 drive....I have nothing to connect it to, other than the Argon NVMe expansion board...which connects to the Pi via USB 3.0.
I'm *hoping* that a Male to male USB3.0 cable (which is on the way!) will enable me to access the M.2 in the usual way...via USB!
Failing that...suppose I'll need a suitable enclosure of some kind.
Hey Ho!!
