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!

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.
