I have to agree there. I have close to 3000 tunes in my empeg, and perhaps 2500 of them have no id3 tags what so ever. I've spent a considerable amount of time making sure the tags and playlists are just "right." It is not a mirror, and is my only copy of this music beyond the original CDs. I was also anal enough to rip them using the paranoid mode of EAC, so we're talking about 4 hours per CD to rip. So a backup and restore utility is useful here, in addition to the point in time when I want to upgrade my hard drive, I want to be able to move everything out, and back in. I don't give a rat's ass if I could actually *play* the music that is backed out, but I need to be able to play them when backed back in.
