For one, MP3 does not compress well -- so does it matter it comes off when I do cpio -iv < foo ??
Why do I need to unzip it 2x?? I see the list if file names when I unzip them. But I cant find them on the HD. SOOO, did I make the *.cpio file wrong? Or is the problem the device I write/save the *.cpio file to??
