[Banshee-List] Banshee-Banshee sync

[Jud Craft <craftjml gmail com>]

Pipe dream imminent.  I don't think that's too much of a burden for
the mailing list, but if it's off-topic I apologize.

I'm planning on getting a netbook soon, and I'm looking forward to
carrying around a convenient amount of data and media in a portable
form.

And I was thinking how mighty awesome it would be if it could function
as its own multimedia device, but without being a Giant Hub of All My
Media.  In essence, a portable media player.

So I had this crazy pipedream that maybe someday, I could sync the
Banshee on my netbook to the Banshee on my desktop.  It would sync my
libraries, ratings, podcast episodes, and then randomly fill up my
netbook with a new batch of music.

In essence, Banshee would treat a version of itself running on another
device as a portable-media-player, but fully capable of syncing the
Banshee database.

The possibilities of then wirelessly syncing a media netbook over Wifi
(using Telepathy or shared libraries, for example) with my Banshee
media on another computer were glorious.  In essence, an end-to-end
linux based portable media player.

Bottom line, you can already share your library.  But I think it would
be pretty awesome not only if Banshee could share media with other
computers, but if it could fully sync the database if that other
device was in fact running Banshee.

Coupled with that Cubano netbook interface, it almost sounds like a
win-win.  I'm certain this doesn't exist, but I just had to tell
someone.
