Utility to compare iPod to hardrive

[pixelMan]

I've searched the forums but can't find any information on whether or not there's a utility available to compare my iPod files to those on my hardrive. When I first purchased my iPod I had limited space on my computer's hardrive to store my files so I deleted songs from my hardrive to allow me to rip and store more than 3 gigs of songs on my iPod.

I've since bought an external hardrive and want to copy only the files that are missing from my hardrive off of my iPod for archiving. Does anyone know if there is a script or utility out there that does this?

Thanks...pixelMan

A script would be fairly easy to write; I'd use a "whose" clause in the script and create an array of all the matches. You'd have to check against multiple kinds of data, like track name, album name and file size to make sure you were getting the right file. But it could be done.
