iTunes Mobile
Posted by nathan | Filed under Music, Thoughts
I don’t like to carry all of my music, movies, tv shows, etc. on my laptop but since that’s the computer I have with me most of the time, it has become the computer that I manage my iTunes library on. I would prefer be able to leave most of my 100GB+ library at home on my main workstation and just take a portion of my library with me at any given time. However, I don’t want to manage multiple libraries.
I would like to see iTunes incorporate syncing of not only iPods, iPhones, and Apple TVs but also mobile devices like laptops and netbooks. The laptop/netbook would still have full blown iTunes installed. I’m thinking that you would set your main iTunes to “master” and your laptop/netbook iTunes to “mobile.” Once set up, your main iTunes would see your mobile devices and allow you to sync similarly to syncing an iPod.
Modifying meta data in the mobile library might require a more robust syncing system like Apple’s MobileMe Sync.
How well could this work? Am I missing anything?
