Beginners don't usually start by installing third party software. The
majority of people is more than content if they can browse the internet,
read emails and open a `word` document and/or spreadsheet. As a somewhat
more elderly person you actually have something of an advantage because
a black screen with white (-ish) characters has some familiarity to it
and thus won't scare you.

Anyway, you managed to get LMS installed and enter your Logitech
registration. The next thing is to tell it where your music files are,
which is not different from what you did when you ran LMS on Windows.
One thing to note here is that Linux (and its big brother Unix)
organizes things different from Windows and I suppose you picked up a
few during the course of this topic, e.g. that a directory separator is
a forward slash instead of a backslash, and that command line parameters
start with a hyphen instead of forward slash. Another thing is that
Linux does not split up the file system to reflect the number of drives
and/or partitions connected to the system. Thus when you connect a USB
drive it will not show up as e.g `F:` but (if it is automatically
mounted) it will be some new directory somewhere within the existing
tree.

Yes that probably sounds intimidating, but luckily there are some
unwritten standards and since Zorin is meant to be a n00b system chances
are high that they will obey them. My guess therefore is that your USB
drive containing the music files will show up under `/media/`. An
(unlikely) alternative would be `/mnt` or `/run/media/username/`. That
last one is a bit tricky because it requires you (the user) to be logged
on to the desktop GUI. Do let us know your findings.
