Just a thought I've been playing with for a while now:
I've got quite a large iTunes collection with movies, tv series and music sitting on external harddrives on my desktop Mac
And on my MacBook I've got a selection of my favorite songs.
Each week I add a couple of new ones, and remove the new ones I added the weeks before but didn't like that much.
The Same for TV series: adding new episodes on a weekly/daily basis, and deleting the ones I've seen.
Problem is:
it takes a lot of time to do. Opening up finder, mounting the MacBook, finding and copying the selected items, adding them to the MacBooks library,...
So I wonder:
If iTunes can do this kind of syncing automatically with an iPod/iPhone/AppleTV, why don't they implement MacBook syncing as well?
Just imagine opening iTunes, pair a MacBook with an iMacs library, selecting playlists and choose to sync the last 3 unseen episodes of 24 and of you go.
Everytime you leave the house again your MacBook is up-to-date, same as your iPods.
You could even load up your MB's iPhoto library with a selection of recent photo's.
I think it would be extremely handy!
The whole thing may look something like this (quick'n'dirty mockup)
Shouldn't be that hard to implement i think?
At least for Apple
What do you guys think?
crazy idea?
