-In order to do this on Batocera, you can create subfolders in your ''/userdata/music/'' directory and put some Sega-inspired MP3 or OGG files in ''/userdata/music/megadrive/'' folderand other more Nintendo-like into ''/userdata/music/snes/''.+In order to do this on Batocera, you can create subfolders in your ''/userdata/music/'' directory to match up with the systems recognized by your theme. If using the default theme, you can identify what the folder names should be based on the system's logo's filename at https://github.com/fabricecaruso/es-theme-carbon/tree/master/art/logos. For examplethe Wonderswan system at https://github.com/fabricecaruso/es-theme-carbon/blob/master/art/logos/wonderswan.svg ends with ''wonderswan.svg'', so the folder structure for that would look like:
