This would be equivalent to (but much easier than) making a full backup on the master, copy it to shared storage, and restore from the shared storage on the client. When you assign master and slave a uuid you can verify that the client has a sync of the master, and therefore you can use song uuid for matching. You may even disallow synching with an unknown client.
[1] An exception may be the physical file paths but there's already a path mapping facility.
Yes, that's what I'm looking for mainly, as I mentioned before. And an automatical path mapping according to the folder settings in the client would be nice, too.
The merging in both directions and checking everything is great but I fear it's so time consuming with big databases that I personally will keep my "master-slave" approach, work on the database only on the master and get the devices synced quickle with something like the aforementioned "copy db and map paths" function.
