I think there are syncing solutions but nothing that integrates with LMS, trackstat etc. I was thinkin along these lines: The app just needs an ordered (by priority) list of artists, playlists, albums, dynamic playlists you want to sync. Higher priority stuff gets added until the space is filled. Albums/Songs in each item can be prioritised by frequency played, recentcy etc. For each of these items in the list: T 1. Thee app then needs to ask the server for the relevant songs. 2. It needs to remove songs that no longer appear there. 3. Add songs on the server that it doesn't have . If the app can run queries against the LMS db I don't see that it really requires much server side code. It would be better because then different devices can have diferent sync profiles. Example: 1) Artist: Coldplay 2) Artist: U2 3) Album: OK Computer 4) Playlist: My Best Square Dancing songs 5) Dynamic: 100 most played songs order by descending playcount 6) Dynamic: Unlimted songs not recently played order by last played This will add songs going down the list to the device. Once the device free space becomes limited it stops. If it's not full by 5 it will add the most played songs limiting to a 100. For 6 it will continue adding till free space is limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98095 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
