Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I frequently use multiple devices (e.g. phone, tablet, backup phone, windows laptop), and it's very inconvenient that my music experience doesn't carry over between them.
I have to:
- Manually copy music files,
- Recreate or export/import playlists,
- Lose play counts, ratings, and listening history
- Reconfigure the app settings on every new install.
This fragmentation creates a poor experience for those of us managing large local libraries.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love a full sync system that can seamlessly synchronize the entire app environment across devices.
This includes:
- Music library files
- Playlist
- Lyrics and album art (custom/embedded)
- Listening history and other states
- Playback position per file (optional, for very long podcast or audiobook files)
- Theme/UI and other settings
How It Could Work:
- Choose between:
- Cloud providers (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
- Self-hosted options
- Options for:
- Full auto-sync in background
- Manual sync trigger
- Selective/Modular sync (e.g., settings only, no media files)
- Conflict resolution system
- Optional end-to-end encryption for privacy
- Works across Android and desktop version
- Backup and restore support
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Manually exporting/importing playlists and app settings.
This workaround is time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks integrated handling of dynamic data like play count.
Additional context
This feature would:
- Save users hours of manual work when upgrading or switching devices.
- Give users peace of mind with reliable backup and restore.
- Empower those with large local libraries or niche content to manage music collections long-term.
Apps
I don't have any reference app that does this, maybe due to my limited research.
Thanks for your hard work Dev. Namida is really a one of a kind app.
