Hi folks,
since most of us love the option to expand the free space with a micro-sd(hc/xc)-card, here's a little how to get the most out of it:
I. Add the content of a removable drive into a library, so you'll be able to play music from music-app.
(Since my order was canceled, it's more based on hearing about, but this works also with Win 7 - give me a short notice, if there is any mistake or if you made screenshots for this)
Attention: Create a folder for each removable source. Source has to be present, if you want to see the files. Index remains to the next time, if you remove the source.

II. Use your SD-Card as the primary destination for downloads:
(Like the solution mentioned before, this trick is derived from windows 7)
