The Files contains the following structure:

Folder containing the music library
Pictures

Movies
Reserved for future use
Tmp
Folder for system temporary files
The Music folder contains the following structure:
flac
The Flac folder contains is where your main music library is stored. All stored
CDs are stored there in the FLAC music format. This is also where you should
copy your music in lossless or high-resolution format.
shared
The Shared folder is used for downloaded music in a compressed format, such
as iTunes or Amazon music. Music placed in this folder is seen both in you
main music library folder (Flac) and the mobile format library (MP3) so it can
be used both by your home systems and to be synchronised with mobile
devices.
mp3
The MP3 contains the same music as in the main music library (Flac) converted
to MP3 if you have set the FLAC Mirror accordingly, so it can be used with
mobile devices or network players not supporting the FLAC lossless format.
See the section “Converting your music to mobile formats”.
wav
The Wav folder is a temporary folder where the CDs are first written before
being converted to FLAC.
m4a
The Alac folder contains the same music as in the main music library (Flac)
converted to Apple Lossless format if you have set the FLAC Mirror
accordingly, so it can be used with Apple devices. This folder will be created
only when conversion is set on the FLAC Mirror. See the section “Converting
your music to mobile formats”
For each CD stored or converted with the Zen, the system will create a folder for each Album Artist
first and within this folder, the album name containing the tracks. For example:
Jack Johnson
In Between Dreams
1
Better Together.flac
2
…
Together with the Flac files, the Zen will create a folder.jpg and cover.jpg files containing the album
art for the album. This ensures compatibility with most music systems.
