@skobkin @geerlingguy I find the state of music management tools sadly disappointing though, I have a (legal) collection that is quite massive but finding a tool that makes it easy to consult all this n an "offline" mode is... not easy.

There has be an easy to use tool out our there to keep ratings & playlists consistent over multiple machines? My duckduckgo searches so far are letting me down.

Try checking out "media servers". Like Emby/Jellyfin for example. There are also some especially made for music.
Maybe they'll make your life easier.

@skobkin @geerlingguy I've looked at Jellyfin and such, they come close but the "offline" features are always a sore point, either the players that connect to them don't support it or the server doesn't support it.

I'd be easy if mobile phone bandwidth was unlimited where I live.... *sigh*

@AmonTheMetalHead @geerlingguy
Ah, yes. If your bandwidth is capped or paid per GB, then it's not an ideal solution.
For you it probably should be something about periodical synchronization to the mobile device storage 🤔

@skobkin @geerlingguy easy enough to work around on android as you can restrict an app to only use wifi & not mobile data, but you need a player that can handle that without crashing and you'd still need a unified format for play-lists (eg .m3u files) that you can dump into a cloud-synced location.

Eg: Say I usually use Rhythbox on my Linux Desktop, I'd still need to figure out how to export the files with a play-list.... Hmm maybe I should look more into nextcloud clients...

Or syncthing for example. It's P2P and therefore doesn't need a server.
