verifying files

I'm thinking that I don't entirely trust what I 'exported' from my iPod
and want to check it against the music data from my Windows

What I want to compare is the entirety of the music data - though the
file names and folder names are different, the data within them should
be entirely unchanged.

so I thought I could md5sum a directory tree but it only works on
files. ;-(

The data amount should be slightly over 3 Gb in both cases...

[root@srv1 home]# du -s /home/music
18759612        /home/music

[root@srv1 home]# du -s /home/samba/profiles/craig/My\ Documents/My\
Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

18776304        /home/samba/profiles/craig/My Documents/My
Music/iTunes/iTunes Music

Not the same ;-(

probably indicates a problem

Is there some absolute way to computer a checksum on a directory tree to
compare the binary contents?
