Actually you don't. I've put files just out in the open in no folders whatsoever, and it shows them.

On the XMB it shows the USB drive, you press TRIANGLE > DISPLAY ALL and it shows the files or folders. Press on the file, and it plays. press on the folder and it shows whatever videos are in the folders.

For videos you have to be under the Video tab, music under music, photos under photos.
