Boy, as soon as you mentioned inode number, the lightbulb went off in my head. Just for fun, I checked and my lowest mp3 inode is 376218 and my highest is 693902805.

I use XFS, it allocates inodes rather aggressively on the fly.. And this isn't a dedicated filesystem for music.

So, I guess I'm hosed for now. I'll re-upload all my music with emplode and keep watching this project..

Thanks, and I really do appreciate your efforts.
