I spend 15 minutes writing a bash script to sync a directory of m3u playlists and all associated media files referenced in the m3u playlists. (My library is > 64GB so I can't just sync my entire library).
I just hit select all from my Itunes playlist on my Mac and dragged and dropped onto the flash/thumb/usb drive. It took about 7 minutes to write the music to the drive. I thought that was pretty fast actually. Everything works flawlessly.
