Non-root mp3?

Is there any way I can install the jukebox mp3 dir in some place other than the root of the memory card?

I'm an old-time Unix/Linux guy, and I like to keep all my apps separated into their own directories. So before installing jukebox, using ssh, I created a couple of dirs under /mnt/free, "music" and "tinkering," along side the usual "books." "documents," etc. Arrogantly ignoring the installation instructions, I copied the jukebox mp3 dir to /mnt/free/music. The jukebox install dir went in /mnt/free/tinkering.

Before running the jukebox install, the books, documents, music, tinkering, etc. dirs all showed up fine under Main Memory in the content lister; after install, all that stuff was missing from the content lister even though it still showed up with ls from ssh.

I tried looking around in the jukebox files for some way to change this behaviour, but since I just started tinkering with iLiad third-party apps only about 18 hours ago, I didn't find anything.

So, is there any way I can get jukebox to use /mnt/free/music as it's music directory? And when I get around to buying more memory for the iLiad, have it use just some directory on the CF, or whatever, card rather than the whole card?

Thanks,
