[Banshee-List] 2 feature suggestions: syncing to playlist / autosync

[Christopher Friedt <cfriedt visible-assets com>]

Hi everyone,

I have 2 suggestions for a features that I hope might be useful to 
others as well:

--

1) syncing to a playlist

Would it be possible to allow a device to be synchronized only to a 
certain playlist?

This is useful for me, because I have a playlist 'General' which is a 
subset of my 'Music Library', and those are the only songs which I 
actually want on my device.

Some of the songs in my library I just never listen to, but it is also 
possible that people would want to have a subset of music on their 
device for size reasons as well.

2) autosync on a per-device basis

Then that would eventually lead to the topic of autosyncing, which would 
be based on some device ID / hash, I suppose, as well as a value in 
preferences for which playlist to use.

The auto-sync to playlist would be good, because I usually filter out 
songs on my playlist on my laptop, or correct song metadata, and then I 
end up wiping out the device totally and copying everything back.

--

If both of these were implemented, only the changes to tracks would be 
altered, or tracks would be deleted from the player, and it would be 
fairly automated.

I am unfortunately not a C# programmer. I can program in C(very 
well)/C++(medially)/Java(medially) and bash. Otherwise, I would be happy 
to do everything myself.
