Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be looking to give the Windows compatible ones a try. One other question: When I switch to another program, am I better off running a fresh sync (to a reformatted and blank hard drive) or can the program be used, and function as expected, with the drives as they are?

I keep my files on 2 external drives. One for playback, the other for backup. I had been using SyncToy to sync the files so that the backup matches the playback drive but I find that it doesn't work well (leaves otherwise deleted files behind on the back up drive, for instance.) Can anyone recommend a program to do what SyncToy should be doing? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I should have noted that I'm Windows-based.

1. Primarily for home use. 2. I wouldn't want to lose all, or any for that matter, of my tags. 3. Each album is made up of individual files. Not certain what you mean by seamless conversion but I wouldn't want to give up gapless playback.

Thanks for suggestions. Any thoughts how long such a conversion might take?

I've been keeping all of my music files as APE for years but I'm considering converting them all to FLAC as FLAC seems to enjoy better support. Any recommendations for a program to mass convert around 100k files?

I'm curious if, and how, you separate tracks. I've used Soundforge to do it but I haven't ripped vinyl in a while.
