Hey
tldr: I would love to hear your feedback on your current solution for music library management.
I'm working on a software that lets you
- organize your playlists and music metadata independently of the location of the files
- make those files available locally for when you need them, on any device,
- while keeping the rest of your music collection safely stored in the cloud.
If I'm running out of disk space locally, there's no way I will want to keep a copy of my whole music collection on my computer. But that's fine, because it's all in the cloud, right?
Well, most cloud storage providers offer selective sync, which means they let you sync a subset of your data to your hard drive, while leaving the rest in the cloud.
But selective sync works using folders.
My music is stored in a flat folder. And if I partition my music collection in multiple folders for the purpose of selective sync, then my playlists all break, because they were referring to the file's original path, in the flat folder.
Wouldn't it be cool if I could simply organize my playlists and music metadata independently of the location of the files, and simply ask my software to make those files available locally for when I need them, on any device, while keeping the rest of my music collection safely stored in the cloud?
That's what got me working on this new software. I think there's an opportunity to really streamline our workflow in a way that let's us think more about the music, less about the files.
What is your current experience like in organizing your music library, while making sure it's properly backed up? Are there frustrations you're dealing with on a regular basis? I'd love to hear some of your thoughts
