rsync -avE -e ssh --delete remote_machine:/path/to/remote/music /path/containing/local/music/folder
makes the "to" folder exactly the same as the "from" folder. this is fine for backups but usually you want to merge your music. so to merge in only one direction you could

use the -u option (update) and
leave the --delete away

You may want to make a
testrun (using -n) before you snivel afterwards. and type just type
rsync to see what the options are doing
