I think there is indeed a general usecase : syncinc to a storage
location which is accessible through a folder, but which is not an
audio device : laptop with a shared folder, regular usb key to create
a modern mixtape, etc.

For the name, I'm thinking FolderSync would be better, I just don't
like the word "Directory". I'll see how it feels after I've played
with the extension a bit.

I'm quite busy these days, so I'll try to process your merge request
later, maybe this week-end. Just so you know you're not being ignored
;)
