That's a good thing, because it might be the only copy, you wouldn't want to lose it in a fumblefingered mistake." + +But most music players will download artwork, and some of course will dynamically modify/rename files according to meta data. And I may be downloading and/or playing music on both the desktop and laptop. So obviously I wouldn't want to be manually unlocking individual files here. It would kinda interrupt the music listening experience. So how would this work? + +I am assuming that I would always have to do a git annex add *.mp3 *.flac *.jpg before doing a git annex sync. But can I just keep everything unlocked? Any side effects here? Will this work or should I just use rsync? + +Regards, + +bk |
