Synchronise a portable iTunes library
Authored by: leamanc on Feb 06, '07 01:48:44PM

Excellent hint, indeed, but good old rsync works great for me keeping my iTunes Library sync'ed up among two Macs and a Linux box. If anyone's interested in that approach, please post a comment and I'll submit it as a hint to the site.

I'm interested in your rsync-based solution. Could you post it? Thanks.

yep, rsync is what i use to syn between machines and/or external drives.
for example,

/usr/bin/rsync_mac --verbose --archive --delete -E --rsh=ssh --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync /Volumes/source_drive/Music/ /Volumes/destination_drive/Music/
