It may be all right it may not. It depends on how the scanner classifies the file types. I tried a drive with a backup on it and it took an hour and a half to go through all the backup files. The problem is that its going to do a scan of the whole disk every time you boot the Touch, thus in my case it would have been an hour and a half wait before I could play music every time it booted. You can certainly try it, but its not a particularly good thing to do. A backup disk is probably the worst to share with music, there can be hundreds of thousands of files and many of those could very well wind up having extensions that the scanner is interested in. Its just not really a good idea.
