cpShuffleSature
cpShuffleSature randomly copies files. It is designed for copying music, pictures, or films onto portable hardware devices which serve as a filesystem (such as I-Bead, iPod, MuVo, Archos, or others). The source subdirectories are replicated on the target and many options are provided (parts of the original directory names filtering, a given amount of available space on the target filesystem preservation, copying of whole directories, size of each target directory limits, etc.). A history file tracks the activity to reduce over- and under-copying of any file.
