MDI - MP3 on usb-disc

[xcyber]

Anyone know if the mp3-songs have to be on the root of the usb-disc? Or can it be placed in folders on the disc like this? root\mp3\acdc\1978-Powerage

Thougt I read something that the mdi could not handle folders for a long time ago? 500GB of mp3 on the root would be a mess
