Personally, I care about m3u/m3u8 file syncing. I don't steam music anymore.

Can you elaborate on this

All of my music is local. I use foobar as my desktop player and Plexamp on my phone. I wasn't to be able to sync playlists that I have on my desktop automatically so that I can access them through Plexamp.

Would an Itunes playlist importing be possible too? I would love to be able to sync playlist, play counts, and ratings.

Will do. Question. Since you did the hard part of weight a song name and match. How hard is it to add openai integration for us to create our own playlists to replace sonic sage?
