No, wait. Make that three times.

I got myself an online storage account at MP3tunes so that I could have another backup of my 80GB or so of mp3s and as a bonus have it all accessible to me anywhere rather than having to keep it stored on a bunch of different machines. (Yes, I could set up a media file server at home and stream stuff using Apache or something similar and may yet do that, but this is quick, easy, and provides another backup.) They have a nice little tool that you can use to sync your music files to or from your storage locker, which I started running last night around midnight on my laptop at home. It's now 6:15 pm. As of five minutes ago, I have 846 songs in my locker, and a total of 6457 songs on my laptop alone. There's math involved here, but the executive summary is "oh god, this is going to take a very long time to finish". Once the laptop is done, I need to sync my work desktop (which was quoting me something like 65 hours to complete) and then I really need to upload stuff from my home desktop, which hasn't been backed up in many, many months. I figure I ought to be done uploading sometime around the end of the month at this rate, unless I'm very lucky and it doesn't treat every new upload from a different system as an initial sync; if it checks to see if files are already in my locker before uploading, it might not be quite so bad.
