Help! How to organize MP3s across different computers!?

[jcee]

I wonder how other people organize their music collection.

I have MP3s on my laptop, and I have some other MP3s on the MP box.. I also record web radio streams in that MP box..

But how to synchronise this stuff.. ?! A file sync'ing tool would do part of the job, but I am talking about music databases with genre, album names, etc..

I have no real solution, but maybe there is one.. In the end I am just copying around the files..

It even gets more complicated as I have computer in my car..

I dream about a tool to manage all this.. but dont know how..

What are you guys doing?

Something I'm planning on looking into...

For Windows... I've <a>noticed this tool</a>, though I haven't used it myself.

I too have 1000s of songs across multiple computers. :?

Please repost! The link got corrupted, cannot click it anymore.

I guess there must be solutions.
I used Itunes for a while. Winamp with its own database might be an interesting thing, but all of them lack the multiple computer thing.
They are all based on a central music database..

There needs to be something to check in/out music and to keep track of it on external devices. (Asuming that there will be no reorganization on the external device).

Got the idea?

:idea: Sounds like you need your own SVN server!

You could also manually use something like rsync/rdist for Windows.

I lost the link :cry: I'll take a look later... it's bound to be in my browser history somewhere.
