Tony, I think you're onto something with the idea of removing the PC from the loop. You seriously have me considering using a Central for my backup needs rather than trying to keep two foreign devices in sync.

Of course, this would involve either finding a RioCentral and getting it upto 160+GB or hacking my Mk2 "backup" empeg for as a home-only player that used an 3.5" drive (probably beyond my ability?).

One question I have... where is the developement of Jemplode vs. RMML going? I noticed these new tools are available on the RMML developers page, but Jemplode is used to do the actions... Sorry, I've only seen talk of RMML in the Karma threads, so I haven't kept too up to date on it.

Of course, lately I've also been way out in left feild when trying to understand these things, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about!
