Store MP3s only on an iPod to save hard drive space
Authored by: merlyn on Mar 31, '05 10:46:31AM

find . -type f -exec cp /dev/null {} \;
would have worked just fine, without having to compile a separate program.

Store MP3s only on an iPod to save hard drive space
Authored by: davoid on Oct 11, '06 03:41:40PM

True, I now use auto sync with my ipod and use the following command to truncate all the files to 0 bytes

[code]
find "." -name "*mp3" -exec cp /dev/null {} \;
[/code]
The reasoning behind is that my hard-drive is only 60gb, but the iPod stores 30gb. I don't want to also have the mp3's stored on the macbook's hard-drive.
