local lan syncing

[psypher]

Hi U1 team,

This would be a great feature for u1 music streaming. Allowing a person to choose one of the PC's linked to the u1 system, which carries a copy of all the music, and then letting the phone app sync from there instead. This will save bandwidth and make it much faster to get the tunes on the phone when you have a local copy. Either allow linking a already linked PC or allow the app to add custom subsonic servers to sync with. So you have the option of ubuntuone cloud, offline and custom local server. I tried having subsonic and u1music installed on the phone but subsonic stores the files as they are on the PC. EG: subsonic/Rock/Artist/Album, where u1music stores is just as subsonic/Artist/album. If that didn't happen if would have not been an issue, files synced with subsonic would be the same files synced by u1. but alas it's not, so now it downloads duplicates.

Thanks

As a test I synced some files with subsonic then moved them to the correct folders (as per u1musics' layout), then opened u1music and the songs played without having to download 1st.

Thanks

Any response to this?

Maybe this feature will come with a file-syncing client for Android which hopefully supports LAN-sync.

Before any Android app from Ubuntu One supports LAN-sync, we need the ubuntuone-client (PC client) to support LAN-sync.
