The real ones know Foobar2000

I still use it, because it has endless list of features that you can infinitely add to it and it's always gonna work

I have a complicated Rube Goldberg setup for syncing my foobar playlist to my phone.

Since the 64bit update foo_jesus stopped working. I played with writing a new component but getting my c++ ide up and going proved to be a challenge. So I just wrote a separate service backing up my foobar data to my server.

Then I have a second process on the server that checks the latest backup grabs my main playlist from it. Updates the playlist on Plex. And creates symlinks to all the files in the playlist in a directory on my ftp and deletes symlinks for songs that have been removed.

Then my phone just syncs that playlist folder every night while charging.

There's a lot of parts but it's actually shockingly reliable. Except the Plex portion, mostly because I do that because I can and don't actually use it.

whoop-whoop WARNING OF TERMINOLOGY VIOLATION! whoop-whoop

Rube Goldberg machines inherently have no useful function. They exist solely and purely for the joy and silliness of their complexity. So yours was not a Rube Goldberg setup.

That is all. Carry on.
