I couldn't find any threads on this so I thought I'd throw this out there...

I'm about to receive an 80GB laptop drive for the empeg and would like to sync all of my mp3's to it quickly. We know that the 10BaseT ethernet on the empeg is not too quick for loads in the 10's of GB so I'd like to find a faster solution.

My idea is to connect the laptop drive to my PC (with an adapter) have Jemplode connect to an empeg emulator that thinks that that particular drive is the empeg and then sync locally.

It should This should speed things up a bit for those who have large loads to deal with. FSCK should be a bit faster too. Has this been done? any ideas?
