caution... you need to be at least somewhat adept in a linux enviornment. this is basically borrowed from the readme in mp3tofid, so i'm not sure why you really need this.
ok, first you're going to need the following files:
cygwin
mp3tofid v3.00
rsync
elvis text editor
assume that your mp3s are located in e:\mp3, and create a folder called e:\empegfids to hold all your files generated by mp3tofid.
Windows Setup:
1) install cygwin, rsync for cygwin, and vim for cygwin.
2) copy and untar mp3tofid to you home directory in cygwin
3) create an rsync.conf file and put it in the /etc directory:
[empegfids]
path = /cygdrive/e/empegfids
read only = yes
use chroot = no
4) run instsrv.sh contained in the mp3tofid directory to create a permanent service for rsync's daemon.
5) run the command
mp3tofid -Ii /cygdrive/e/mp3 /cygdrive/e/empegfids to generate all relevant files.
*whenever you update your mp3 collection, repeat step 5
Empeg Setup:
1) using an ftp program, copy rsync and elvis to the empeg.
2) untar rsync.
3) create a file rsync.sh using elvis containing the following:
#!/bin/bash
rsyncserver=
windows_box_ip
modulename=empegfids
set -x
swapon -a
rwm
rsync \
$@ \
--times \
--delete \
--verbose \
--recursive \
--copy-unsafe-links \
--exclude=config.ini \
--exclude=lost+found \
${rsyncserver}::${modulename}/drive? /
rom
swapoff -a
4) run rsync.sh and be done with it.
