syncback is the software that you seek. The basic version is free and has everything you will ever need. It has support for multiple profiles, scheduling, backup via ftp, filters etc. I use it to synchronise my music files between my iRiver H340 and my USB external drive.

Dumb question - I was thinking about using the Windows briefcase to do the same thing? Any reason it wont work?

I want to sync music ripped to my laptop to my HTPC.

I hate the briefcase because you have to yes/no all the time - have a look at my xcopy in the links above - it only copies newer files.
rsync can copy the differences since the file was last copied - mp3's don't change so need to go to that level
