With images you're not stuck with making individual tiddlers. You can just use [img[./external/image.jpg]] to access them. But better, I use a modified version of Tobias Beer's <ximg> set of macros so that I can change the base path of images depending on what platform I am on. This way I can use a different path, for instance, on an android device than what I use on a desktop. (on the android images might need to be separated from the TW's to save space on the main memory card, for instance.). If you try using TW on node.js, you quickly discover that node.js doesn't serve up images. You can run a separate server, or call a long path to your files, but then all your paths have to be changed.
http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#External%20Image%20Path The main difference I have in my setup, is that I've made a drop-down list of directory names to change them out quickly. I haven't looked at audio before. I wonder why the audio/mp3 format isn't included in the drop-down list?
