Why not just add a seperate backup for your mp3 directory (and exclude it from the main) with compression level 1 via gzip? You can mix compression levels and if the file is found somewhere else, it will be found as a match. I wonder which would be better? explicitly excluding /media/mp3 and including it in another, or excluding *.jpg *.mp3 *.avi and including that in another? Would make restores more complicated...
