#322743 - 28/05/2009 19:28 Backup empeg contents to PC
Dava member Registered: 06/12/2000 Posts: 192 Loc: Bucks UK	Hi all, Its good to see the BBS is still going strong, I have been away for some time.... I have been looking for a way to backup the entire contents of the empeg back to PC where: 1.The playlists are maintined and the MP3s created in them. ( think emplode/jemplode do this to some extent) 2.Modify the tags on the PC to those of my anal empeg DB (I wasn't so carful before uploading in some cases but fixed in emplode later) Excuse me if this has been asked 100 times but I could not find a suitable thread here. Rather than just having an empeg/linux backup lying around on one of my Windows PCs, It would make sense to make it playable and I have 10 years worth of random additions now. Any pointers would be appreciated. _________________________ MK2 smoked 32Gb S/n 090000949 MK2a Blue 20GB racked and out of sync

As far as the first thing, playlists, that's a different animal. If you download things via Jemplode you can have it create a folder structure that matches your playlist structure. Which might be fine for some people. A case where it wouldn't be fine is if you have the same song (or album) in multiple playlists. Then, if you download each playlist off of jemplode, you might download the song more than once. Relevant FAQ entries are here: Can I copy MP3 files back onto my PC from the player? Is there anything I should keep in mind when I grab files from the player? Can I back up the player's playlists and music files? What is the best way to organize and listen to my music? How can I keep my PC and my car player in perfect synch? _________________________ Tony Fabris

Dava member Registered: 06/12/2000 Posts: 192 Loc: Bucks UK	Thanks both, With drive space so cheap I am not worried too much about dupes. My 60GB of tunes barely touches the sides of a recent desktop drive. How things change in 10 years... _________________________ MK2 smoked 32Gb S/n 090000949 MK2a Blue 20GB racked and out of sync

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31596 Loc: Seattle, WA	Okay, then you just go into Jemplode, Tools/options, and you set up the downloaded file name format to include the playlist name as a folder name with backslashes. I forget the exact syntax to do that in the Jemplode configuration box, does remember where that's documented or have a link to where Mike described that on the BBS? _________________________ Tony Fabris
