How do you organize mp3's when importing from the SD card?
I want to bring some music to my 2010 A5 jukebox with the 3G MMI.
I have an 8Gb Kingston SDHC card.
Can I just drag the whole iTunes music folder into the card- it currently is organized by iTunes on my Mac in folders and subfolders like:
<iTunes Music FOLDER>
<ARTIST SUBFOLDER>
<ALBUM SUB-SUBFOLDER>
songtitle.mp3
None of the music is DRM-protected.
Then do I just put the SDHC card in the slot and import all the music into the jukebox?
Or is there some special way I need to do my folders - or maybe no folders.
Then will the 3G MMI let me sort by artist or by song or by album?
Thanks!

Can't comment on 3G (I have an '08 w/ 2G), but my MMI shows you the complete folder structure off an external hard drive connected via USB (AMI).
The only problem I ran into is I've got about 8,000 songs divided into folders by artist, and MMI took a long time to read the folder list. Solution - I made a higher level of folders A-Z, and the MMI doesn't have any lag now.
I presume the 3G jukebox sorts all the music by tags and is searchable by artist/title/album, in which case folder order isn't important. But I don't trust the tag listings on my songs, so I prefer to navigate by folder structure.
