mirrordb is one of the programs that does not expect sifted fids. I never did get around to dealing with that.

Pros - faster database building
Cons - need to rerun the program when new files are uploaded, very few programs do not like it

Doug, to run it you would do something very similar to the following:

q #exit to shell
rw #read/write root filesystem
rwm #read/write music filesystems
cd /empeg/bin #go to a known directory
#upload 182190-fidsift.sh using hyperterm
mv 182190-fidsift.sh fidsift.sh #renaming it to something more convenient
chmod 755 fidsift.sh #makes it executable
./fidsift.sh #runs it, making lots of subdirectories and moving the files on your music filesystems.
rom #read only music filesystems
ro #read only root
exit #exit shell, restart player
#reboot and sync to test
