Selecting different root folder for library (local storage)

Firstly, thanks for creating such a useful, clean distro!

My external hard drive (connected via USB to the Pi) has lots of music files on it in various folders, but I don't want Raspyfi to consider all of them for inclusion in the database. Is there a way I can tell it to only look in a specific folder?

Many thanks.

I've resolved this, by editing /etc/mpd.conf

and changing music_directory to "/mnt/USB/usb1/music"

This makes MPD only look in the "music" folder on my external hard drive.

As a linux n00b I'm really enjoying getting to grips with this!
