Pi Player - Store music on SD card? USB stick?

Posted by marc g. on April 26, 2021 at 16:01:02:
I have a music collection (not my primary) that is 25 gigs and not likely to grow much from there. Any reason why it couldn't/shouldn't be stored on the same SD card that the OS is on (presumably on a partition) or on a USB stick (that seemingly would be easier to add new material to*)?

*Can a USB stick simply be removed while the Pi on on and reinserted after updating it with new music (which will be very little)? I would assume the music software would have to be told to rescan the library for the new files to appear.
