3.1.3 Putting music on your player

With the player connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a USB Drive),
music files can be put on the player via any standard file transfer method that you would
use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag 'n' Drop). The default directory structure
that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback
in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent
directory of that folder as the Artist name. While files may be organized however you
like, the AlbumArt
and WPSes may display information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and
you have your music organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to
guess the Artist and Album names from your filetree.
