Right. But mp3tofid doesn't convert the .mp3 to a fid. It merely creates a symlink to that .mp3, which obviously doesn't do any good if it's not on /drive0 somewhere. That's my question. What do I do with the mp3s?

I've also noticed that the symlinks created refer to my local directory, where mp3tofid finds the mp3s, such as /Users/Trevor/Desktop/... which doesn't correspond to the empeg drive in any way. Is there some certain way that I should be setting up my desktop environment for mp3tofid conversions?

I have been hooking the drive directly up to the Jessie VM and have been able to sustain very high (22mb/s) write rates to the drive, so definitely the fastest.

I've just been trying it with a few folders and very small transfers for proof of concept, but unfortunately still nothing.
