tools/sync-to-ipod.sh does the whole transfer to a Rockbox device, so the only manual part left is the disk-mode button sequence. The guards are the substance rather than decoration. rsync --delete is being aimed at a whole filesystem, so the destination must exist, be its own mount point, and be a FAT filesystem; the mirror must be non-empty and must not be the destination. Emptying the wrong directory is not a mistake that announces itself. It also excludes /.rockbox, the scrobbler logs and the usual filesystem metadata directories. The mirror does not contain them, so a sync to the card root would otherwise have deleted the Rockbox installation -- which the first draft of this script would have done. The unmount is why this is a script at all. FAT32 has no journal, the device is reached through the Apple firmware's disk mode because Rockbox's own mass storage is unreliable on an iFlash, and an interrupted write is corruption that needs fsck.vfat from another machine. tools/submit_scrobbles.py sends the Rockbox scrobbler log to Last.fm and sets it aside. Rockbox writes it in AUDIOSCROBBLER 1.1: tab-separated, one line per track, rated L for listened or S for skipped, and only the listened ones are a play. It runs before the copy, because the plays already happened and a failed transfer is no reason to lose them as well. Two things there differ from every other Last.fm call in these projects. Scrobbling is a write method, so it needs the API secret and a session key obtained once through the browser rather than the read-only key. And a target with no real-time clock gets /.scrobbler-timeless.log with every timestamp set to zero; those are counted and reported but never sent, since submitting them would mean inventing when they happened. Signature generation sorts parameter names by the ASCII table rather than numerically, so artist[10] precedes artist[1]. Sorting them the obvious way produces an invalid signature and no other symptom, so there is a test for it. The log is renamed rather than deleted once accepted, so that if Last.fm quietly dropped something the evidence is still on the device.
