Hello, I have a fairly small music collection that I would like to copy to the RaspyFi local SD Card and store them on there for the MPD server to use. What would be the procedure for mounting and getting the MPD server to detect this location and share it? – I have tried just copying them to the SD card to see if it would auto-share like it does with a USB drive, but no luck so far.
I need to do this as both the USB ports on the Pi are being used up by the USB DAC and the Wifi dongle!
Many Thanks

Hi Alex,
what you can do is copy your music on
/var/lib/mpd/music
but the best way is to do as follows:
cd /home/pi
sudo mkdir music
sudo chmod 777 music
cd /var/lib/mpd/music
ln -s /home/pi/music
So you create a symlink pointing to /home/pi/music. You copy your music here and update your db and you're done!
Let me know!

Do you see any files/folders at all on the SDCard, or is it completely empty
If you do see files/folders, did you check under /home/pi/ ?
