I think hard-links are the easiest solution. mkdir hardlinks find Music -type f -print0 | xargs -0 cp -al -t hardlinks (You get a warning from cp about doubles, if any) Then you can rsync the 'hardlinks'-directory as usual. When you want to update you should just 'rm -rf hardlinks' then execute the find again. That way even deletions work as expected (Or just put it in a script).
