(Pssst... He's asking about Windows 8.1, not Windows Phone)

I'm still waiting for the final release of W8.1 before I put it back on my laptop/tablet. The RC was just to buggy for me, for a change.

just copied my entire music collection to a microsd. will I be able to add it to 8.1 without jumping through hoops in music library?

Yes. Microsoft re-architected Windows Search to include external memory card support.

You can do it two ways-

1. Settings, Make default save location
2. Add folder to library, and make it default.

They did, but they created a user issue finding it. They hid libraries so now only advance users really know about its functionality. I don't think you're given an option to use libraries when you put an removable storage.

Libraries are not hidden, they're under This PC.

it takes an advanced user to fan out the tree apparently.

I don't think right clicking and choosing show libraries requires a very advanced user. I would also hardly call it genuinely hidden since it is a beta and Instructions are readily available on line
