[Empeg-general] Re: Backing up MP3's off Empeg

Greetings!

  One thing that might work is if you load an FTP or HTTP server and use the filename wrapper system to assign 
human readable symbolic links to the files.  The instructions for how to do it are <a href="http://www2.fh-harz.de/~u15097/empeg/">here</a>.  This link was on <a href="http://www.empeg.mars.org/">the developer site</a>.
While not as easy as being able to restore via emplode, it will still get the job done.

  I hope this helps.  I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like it should work...  The reason this is not a legal issue
for empeg is that you are modifying the software / using the developer kernal, loading your own software, etc.  In
other words, it becomes your liability.

  By the way, I agree with keeping a local backup, but that is sometimes not practical.  I am very anxious to get
my empeg in that the hard drive my files are on is slowly becoming unstable.  I have a backup, but restoring would 
be very annoying.  Once loaded, I can replace the PC drive, and download the music back.  (No, I have no physical
space or power left in my very small case to fit another hard drive to offload the audio - I tried that this past 
weekend...)
