Apart from its possible effect on startup time, you may want to reconsider using a 64GB uSD card for a more fundamental reason.
Many updates to moOde can be installed via the moOde UI but from time to time a new version is available only as a fresh install. The fresh install would wipe out your music files if they are stored in a directory in the rootfs on the uSD card.
It would be possible to create a third partition on the card and store music files in its filesystem but then you'd have to customize moOde to detect and mount it. As well, when updating, you'd have to copy the two partitions of the new version of moOde into the first two partitions and not just flash the drive from the distributed image.
Not impossible; just fiddly. You'd have to play games with setting up the partitions, disable or modify moOde's "File system expand" functionality, yada yada yada. Would seem easier to put music files on a USB drive.
