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 les can be put on the player via any standard le transfer method that you would use to copy les 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 les may be organized however you like, the ZAlbumArt wiki page explains the requirement for Album Art to work properly, and WPSes may display information incorrectly if your les are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a way dierent than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album names from your letree. See section A.2 (page 141) for a list of supported audio formats.
