okay this might of been gone over before but could someone give us a safe place to put it on the empeg that will bw wiped by a reinstall of the software

please be aware i am a linux moron


Thanks folks

One of the music partitions should be safe

Make a directory under /drive0 and store your stuff in there

mkdir /drive0/mystuff/

i thought the music partitions would stay over a reinstall of the software. Which is something i want as well i was wondering about a directory that would be wiped in the event of a reinstall.


The music partions would be a good place to store things though wouldn't it. As i would like to put important things from the laptop on.

Final question i want to keep some low bitrate MP3s for my rio 600 where could i store them that the player software wouldn't find so i can pull them off and then fire them into the 600 via laptop

I believe they'll be invisible to the player if stored in a subfolder on the music data partition(s). Possibly even directly among the music files... as the player uses the database to find things. If the database is hosed it looks in the *1 files to recreate it, not in the mp3 (*0) files, or files named *.mp3.

Or am I missing something?

I tend to leave anything like this in /drive0, which isn't the music directory, but is on the music partition. It won't get overwritten by an upgrade.

I have a few subdirectories in my /drive0. An install folder for all of the tools (lojack, logoedit, etc.) that I use, plus backups of the latest hijack, emplode, debian distribution, utility files, a backup of my config.ini, etc. I also have a mirror subdirectory where I have a symlink tree of the empeg database (created by mirrordb) for ftp browsing.
