That's not really convenient if I frequently add music to my sd card.
I have lots of music which I don't want to be scanned: for example audiobooks, podcasts and my electronic/techno playlists. That's why at the moment I'm using a Sansa with rockbox firmware installed and I can't upgrade my music player. I keep all the music that I don't need to be indexed in the database in a folder with a file named database.ignore inside. With this simple method I can put music on my player and keep autoupdating the database without messing anything up.
here are the 3 options I use:
1-get one µSD for each kind of media. I even have one with classical only as I do not enjoy going from rammstein to chopin randomly ^_^.
2-keep a spare sansa clip for audiobooks only(and at least you know where your other µSD is ^_^).
3-get a DAP that deals with audiobooks well, some android players, a sony ... that knows to keep audiobook and music sections separated.
I use 1 for massive collections, 2 for sport, 3 for traveling light and comfy.
