Store (restore) user specific info on library for rating and play counts
I would like to keep my stars, play counts and tags forever. It would be good if we had a mix of last.fm and xmarks to store our own info on each music.
I have a player on my computer at work, another at my media PC and my eveything PC. I move my files between them using either USB drives or mp3 player.
It is always a mess, I mean I don't do messes but play counts and star ratings are different everywhere.
I had similar problem with bookmarks for my Firefox until I found xmarks. It was great and saved me a lot of time.
So I think we could have something that falls between last.fm and xmarks for music libraries.
The itunes sync does part of the job, it would have to consider only the current local files.

Inappropriate?It would be awesome if Songbird or an add-on could make a cloud solution for storing all of your library information, because I don't think any perfect way exists right now. You can use Last.fm and Vandelay Industries as a work around for backing up playcounts, but there is no great way to keep playcounts and ratings synced across multiple computers or backed up on demand.
This gives me an idea though- maybe Songbird could have its own version of Weave for keeping your personal information backed up and synced across computers. It could even keep track of your installed add-ons and feathers, basically making all of the information of your profile available online in case you need to restore it or to have an identical configuration across multiple computers.
