Copy from library to specified folder before playing track

Request a new feature to add to Muso, or vote +1/-1 for anyone else's suggestion. Even just a few votes will get it looked into (just one possibly not).

Copy from library to specified folder before playing track

Post by grunter »

Hi,
in my stereo system reproducing a track on local ssd sounds much better then reproducing it from external usb driver (where I have most of my music library).
So I'd like to have, if possible, in Muso such an option: when I run "play track now", Muso first copy the track on a specified folder (i.e. local ssd) and then play it with default player.
We could call it "copy and play track now".
What do you think?
Thanks.

This is something already supported on queuing to HQPlayer - it's a generic option that will always copy to a specified folder before playing:

You're requesting the same thing for queuing to the default player?

Yes, exact, the same option for the default player.
When I choose "play track now" I'd like Muso to
1- Copy the track to a specified folder
2- Play the track from that folder

Is it possible?

It is - maybe the buffer folder for HQPlayer could be made a generic option.

Yes, I suppose so.
The important thing is:
1- copy the track
2- invoke the default player for that track in the new folder

Thanks.

My default player is not a commercial one, is a custom player with no gui (so command line) that a friend of mine has written for asio on windows.
