Fdb provides one more property for each tune: its path. You can
use this property to store arbritary pathnames relative to the RK
(lkarmafs) mountpoint. This way you have the means to handle the
virtual FS exactly as if it were a regular FS; i.e., you can
organize the tunes into any arbritary directory hierarchy, not
necessarily derived from genres, artist, etc. For instance, you
may want to have the very same hierarchy as in the collection you
have in your host PC. And, contrary to what happens with the
current lkarmafs -T approach, when playing or searching tunes in
the RK, it will display tag properties rather than the path
componnents. However, as I said,

Well, it is almost equivalent and you could use this for
uploading too -- assuming you mean
cp $f mnt/tune/${f##*/}
rather than
cp mnt/tune/$f
Best,
EV.
