Saving music wisely: Why save 'Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody.mp3' millions of times?
- by hsmit
As far as I'm concerned, Queen's song 'bohemian rhapsody' is one of the most popular songs all time. But for the purpose of this message you may replace this with another track.
At the same time I think 60% of the digital-music listeners have this track. Sometimes we have multiple copies: different versions of the track, different devices, unwanted duplicates in download folders, itunes folders etc..
Wouldn't it be much smarter to store these songs only once?
You can imagine various solutions for this.
How would you accomplish this?
Some criteria that may help you find an answer:
It must reduce disk space
It must remember which music belongs to you (DRM)
It must use network traffic efficiently
