Comment 12 for bug 758384

I have discovered through trial and error that if I set up my copy so that after every artist directory that I do a few "sync" commands followed by a "sleep 10" that the copy succeeds, ie all files are copied without any errors.

This holds true on both the Toshiba Satellite A70's IDE drive (brand new 120Gb western digital) and on the Dell Inspiron 1501's ATA drive (5 year old 100Gb Toshiba).

I am now officially at my wit's end. I have two laptops with the music files on them, but I am afraid to upgrade / install any other machines to Natty.

Please, if anyone is actually reading this, any ideas?
