don't forget to run rockbox utility app using sudo from the CLI when installing rockbox instead of double clicking on the app icon.

Example of a mirror sync (dangerous!) where orphaned/deleted files in the source are also deleted on the destination:

rsync -av --delete itunes/ /Volumes/IPOD/Music/itunes/

⚠️ This would delete anything in the destination that isn’t in the source.
⚠️ Can take hours with 1000s of songs
