Hi,

I'm trying to copy (synchronize) my configuration from a laptop to a server so that I can run Amarok on either one and have access to the same music collection, podcasts, radio stations, etc. I've set up a cron job on the laptop to push everything to the server. The script looks like this. ("Indigo" is the server name.)

Code: Select all
# My music collection
rsync -rEvz --delete /home/rob/Music/ rob@indigo:/home/rob/Music 

# Amarok config and database
rsync -rEvz --delete /home/rob/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ rob@indigo:/home/rob/.kde/share/apps/amarok
rsync -rEvz --delete /home/rob/.kde/share/config/amarokrc rob@indigo:/home/rob/.kde/share/config/amarokrc


This partially works. After running it, the podcasts and radio stations configured on the laptop show up on the server, but my music collection doesn't. I'm forced to configure Amarok again to point to the /home/rob/Music folder (where all my music lives) and rescan the collection. That surprises me, since the directory structure is identical on both machines. What am I doing wrong? Is there another directory/file I need to sync? By the way, I'm using the SQLite database. Thanks.
