I agree with you on this….I think it is rediculous and a bad oversight for apple. The hot link should be your iPod. If it is yours, you own it, and you get the ability to register 5 machines, then the iPod itself should be the master library. Right now you can do multiple iPods….so why not lock the content to 5 machines and allow the iPod to be the master sync between all devices?

OH YEAH…WHERE’S MY BLUETOOTH APPLE? Come on guys…GRIN

Hi Bob,
I think you got what you wished for: automatic syncing of music, playlists, playcounts, ratings etc between PCs!

Happened to find this entry while searching for something similar to what you’re discussing. While it doesn’t do exactly what I want, it’s possible that Martian Technology’s SlingShot could be what you’re looking for. It’s like $30 sadly, but here’s the URI:

I would like to take this yet one step further. I do not want my whole iTunes library on my laptop, I would like it to sync from my master db on my workstation using smart lists like I do on my iPod.

…that would truly be applicious.

Amen. The “cloud” of machines authorized by me should also be able to play songs from each other, as a sort of private sharing arrangement.

Don’t forget that they also don’t allow me to stream DRM’d songs off of shared iTunes unless you authorize my computer… I’m not looking to copy the file, just listen!
