Shouldn't matter, but..


Yes, it helps, but it doesn't matter. rsync will handle that.

But kendricks problem is not rsync inefficiency, but mp3tofid
inefficiency. It shouldn't scan all tunes every run, it should
rely on previously generated fids, if the corresponding tune
has not changed.

There are a couple of checks like mtime, size, inode number
and major/minor numbers of the filesystem that contains the
tunes.
