Well,.. that's what I tried this weekend. Using the drag and drop method, hoping emplode would figure out what is duped and what's new. It didn't work, even worse it created a new top level directory.

After ripping a few more tracks from the Creed - Human Clay CD, I dragged the "c" directory from my collection onto emplode. Not only did it dupe all the artists inside the c directory,.. but it made a new toplevel "C" directory !!!! Changed the case and,.. blip!,.. just made a new one. I can see this isn't gonna work out.

There must be someone out there who has run into the same difficulties with keeping their collections synced. I ripped about 15 tracks yesterday in in a rush I left out a few of the tracks in my (very tedious) manual update process. A scriptable procedure would probably work better than someone elses interface idea of how to keep the two synced.

I'll put a developer image on the unit log into it and see if there is anyway I can figure it out. If anyone has had some success here, please pass along your story.
