You could build a simple function in UEML to upload the basic tag information from the scan it already does of your tag data (excluding images, lyrics, comments etc) and upload it to UESR.com alongside the index information that UEML uses to identify each track. Looking at a couple of classical albums, I reckon each track has a maximum of about 200 characters for Album, Title, Artist, Album Artist, Genre, Year etc. Assuming an average collection of, say, 10,000 tracks (a major over-assumption) that is a total of 2,000,000 characters or 1.9MB. Even the biggest collections of 100,000 tracks would only be 20MB. Hardly a huge amount of data nowadays. It could even be compressed and uploaded as a zipped comma delineated text file. Once in Logitech's hands, and made available to UEML, it just needs a simple random index search to pick the next track or two. I cannot believe this is really that difficult to implement, even in the cloud. Think of the possibilities for UE and Logitech with all that data at their fingertips! Think of the targeted marketing you could do! Spotify and Rhapsody might even pay you a fee to access it! Of course you would need the user's consent - but who really minds a corporation knowing what is in your music collection? Supermarkets already keep much more detailed and intrusive information about your buying habits with their loyalty card systems (at least in the UK). They already know, for instance, that you bought "Fifty Shades of Grey" alongside your Cheerios, rump steak and panty liners. Who would you really mind them knowing that you listen to Jimmy Osmond, Dying Fetus [sic] or One Direction? Er, second thoughts... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96188 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
