- | To use an external USB drive for your VortexBox media, you'll have to create top-level folders music, pictures, and movies on the USB drive. You should also create a music/flac folder on your USB drive, and place your music files there (even if they are not FLAC files). Also create a music/playlist folder for LMS playlists. Create a music/mp3 folder for VortexBox to use for mirroring FLAC files to mp3. Do not place any music files in music/mp3; place them in music/flac. Move your media files on the USB drive to the appropriate folders. This will allow you to mount the USB drive at /storage and have all your media show up in the proper place. | + | To use an external USB drive for your VortexBox media, you'll have to create top-level folders **music**, **pictures**, and **movies** on the USB drive.
