I've been meaning to talk about this one, and this thread is a good opportunity for me to bring up the subject.
I thought that with version 2.0 of the emplode software, it would do duplicate-checking within each directory. So, imagine the following scenario:
- You have a huge "MP3" folder on your hard disk, organized into folders as follows: "MP3\Artistname\Albumname\songnames.mp3"
- When you first get the empeg, you select all of the artist folders in your "MP3" folder and drop them onto "Playlists" in the 2.0x emplode.
- This creates a bunch of artist/album trees in Emplode's playlists.
- You synch, and all is well. (Yeah, I know. This is in a future release of emplode 2.0 where huge synchs are stable again.)
- Now you add one new album to one of the artist trees on your PC.
- You drop the same directory structure onto emplode the same way you did before.
- In theory (if I understand it right), the new album will be added, and every other song will be considered a duplicate and is ignored. This assumes you did the exact same drop so all the folder names were the same.
Doesn't it work this way? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Okay, moves and deletions are not covered by this method, but at least "adds" are covered.
