With the advent of Google Play Music, I have come to realize my goal for my music collection:
- Rip my entire library to lossless FLAC format so that the digital files are as good as the CD.
- Keep two copies of the FLAC files (one on the workstation and one on an external hard drive).
- Upload the entire collection to the cloud, via Google Play Music.
- Using Google Play's Music Manager solely on my workstation, use my workstation as the basis for ripping and keeping the cloud synced.
- Download my music from Google Play Music as 320Kbps MP3s onto each device (phone, netbook, laptop).
Now, I realize that it'll take a TON of bandwidth to upload all that music, so it'll be several months before this whole deal is accomplished, and my ISP might be a bit upset. Still, I thought I'd share my goal to get my music into the cloud, and to have it all synced across all my devices. And being the disorganized person that I am, having written this down in my blog allowed me to fully think through the whole process and document it.
:D
Oh, and holy cow, I cannot believe that I forgot about owning James Ingram's greatest hits. Love, love, love that CD.
