Music library (backup) in the cloud?

[Dan Gravell]

I've been thinking about this topic for a while. What if your "gold" library was actually stored online, with backups, tagging and organisation fixed for you, and a set of "sync" software responsible for keeping your local devices up to date (maybe with rules, e.g. maximum artwork size, transcoding, only select certain music etc)?

ewww ... sounds like Apple ["we know what you want before you know what you want"]

 

Thanks for the feedback, it's very useful - although I don't recall saying "I know what you want" - album art could easily be optional, in fact the tagging options in general could be optional.

 

What are the problems with online backup for you at the moment?

 

Personally I just use S3 still (used to use rsync.net who had excellent customer service, but the price increase was just too much).

This is getting off topic, as it goes beyond the "backup" aspects, but maybe i will open another thread to discuss it. 

 

I'd be interested to learn more about what you are doing - I think "hybrid cloud" or "self hosting" in the cloud might be a growing phenomena.
