I tried this and had little success. I ran mp3tofid on my directory of mp3s (where tracks are arranged in directories of album then directories of artists).
When I ran cp -L, it would not find the files that were linked - it said no such file or directory for each one. Note I have no spaces in my directory/filenames since I believe that spaces are evil!.
I re-ran mp3tofid (cleaning out the previous results) with the -n option and this time it copied (cp -L) all of the files over to the new drive.
When I put the drive in the empeg and loaded JEmplode, it saw all of the songs, but the tags were all wrong with respect to the Artist (i.e I'd click on the Rush playlist and would see a bunch of James Ingrahm songs and other artists with their sub-dirs underneath).
It looked nothing like my original directory structure that I have of MP3s. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my mp3 store being on an ext3 drive, and the resulting fid files being copied to the ext2 empeg drive. And would it be due to my usage of the -n option for mp3tofid?
What am I doing wrong?
