This can also be done with rsync over ssh:


rsync -avE -e ssh --delete remote_machine:/path/to/remote/music /path/containing/local/music/folder

Since ssh servers are more common on Linux machines than SMB or AFP, I find this very convenient. I use this to backup all my stuff from one Mac to another, too.
