I came to the realization that if I bought one of the larger capacity iPods (40 or 60 GB), it would serve just as good as a backup of all my music on my computer (in the event of a hard drive crash) as well as a portable media player.
However, I am very picky about the organization and naming scheme of my music. They are all organized in individual folders by artist, and each and every file has a specific naming scheme it follows, making my music selection very efficient. I spend many hours organizing these files, and was wondering; if I were to put a complete dump of all my music on the iPod, and then take it to another computer, and dump it all from the iPod to there, would all of my files appear EXACTLY the same as they did on my original source computer? Regardless of filename size or special characters?
For example, I have a lot of electronic music (techno, trance, etc.) which I keep separated from the rest of my music. So if I had a filename like this:
[Electronica] Cafe Del Mar- Energy 52 (Super Duper Hooblahblah Whatever Mix).mp3
Would be restored with this same filename?
