Each time you transfer a song from your local PC library to the tablet, it would essentially add a new song to the database (or update an existing if a match is found), and then completely replace the tablet database with the updated one from the PC. Likewise, if you transfer from your tablet to your local library, it would delete the song off the tablet, and either copy the song to the tablet, or update an existing match if one is found. This could also lead to a pseudo-sync mode where it would try to automatically identify which songs you've transferred from your PC library storage to the tablet, and see if any need updating. It obviously wouldn't be quite as transparent something like iTunes, as it requires more manual interaction, but it's still a step in the right direction without a ton of work for me, as it still uses my same basic model of completely replacing the database with each interaction. Once annotations is done, I'll move towards this as time allows.
My thought is that a robust import and export feature would be enough most of us. Also Already use multiple backups from various dates in various folders. May be missing something but doesn't this accomplish most of the above?
