I think people are missing one of the big benefits of offline operation. It's not just about adding one album here and there, it's the ability to have all your empeg-loaded music backed up offline. This would allow you to do a restore should the music on your empeg become corrupt. Without having to figure out how you had everything sorted on the empeg.

I don't want a way to sync based on a local filesystem. I want the local copy to be managed by emplode with all its database goodness.

For people with smaller empeg drives, this could also allow the ability to push small subsets of the total collection onto the empeg (not an issue for me because I will always upgrade the drives to be able to hold ALL my music).

So, seeing as Roger, the guy we know is responsible for emplode, thinks it's a cool idea.... Go Go Go!
