Anyone here using Google Drive?

Um...well in your case I'd stream from Google...not home. But it's not DJ friendly..You can import itunes playslists to it but the player is like DJing from iTunes....lol...You can download the tracks to any computer you log into with gmail. I think that's how it works.

I wouldn't stream if possible. Take an external to the lodge and just sync your library to your lappy ahead of time.

My use for google is just simple basic access to the music.

That is also a possibility.

The agreement I am going to set up is that when I am there the drive and music can be used but otherwise it does not even get turned on. I paid big bucks amassing all of this music over the years and I don't mind if somebody else enjoys it but, when it comes down to it, I am the license holder.

HEY what about loading the music on the laptop under a different user profile! They have to have your password to login to your side of the drive with the music!

Here's my beef with this whole cloud thing...

What if you don't have a connection?

What if I walk within 30 yards of you -- your connection is going down. Doesn't matter if it's WiFi, 3G or 4G cell -- you no longer have a connection.

You cannot depend on wireless, because people like me will shut it down for S&G, or if you're annoying me.

I'm just a regular sorta guy, and I can do it easily. What if Uncle Vlad, or Wang Chon Fuk (or whoever's in charge of China these days) decides to do it? Heck, even Uncle Obama signed an executive order, giving him the right to shut down our networks.

Put your stuff directly on your devices, and you can still read your docs, and listen to your music. Dependency on the "cloud", is gonna end up leaving you in a lurch... ;)

Totally agree 100%. It's just another place to put my music that is stored on my C: drives and externals. It's more for recreational use of my android phone to stream it while taking a walk or for kids in the car to stream.

I forgot, you are married with children... :eek:

I just came back from the pool (too lazy to take a shower, and figured I'd save on the water bill). There was 4 chicks and me out there (and people wonder why I moved back here). ;)

Anyway, I was there about 45 minutes, and two of the chicks were talking on the phone the entire time. The third had earbuds in. The other was just soaking up rays and swimming (same with me). There was a slew of hawks overhead, and we were just watching them and talking about how they glide through the air. It was very relaxing -- no music, and I got a phone number -- go figure... ;)

I suppose if I had kids, I'd want to listen to music all the time when I'm out -- but I'd rather hear my dog bark when a gator comes chasing us, or a chick wants to talk about hawks...


I love the sounds of nature (and the voices of cute chicks) -- once I walk out that door, I want nothing to do with technology.

OK, I am playing with Google Music right now. I can upload 20,000 songs from my library. That's what I was looking for.

Give me an FTP link -- you may have something that I don't...
 
Rick is 100% correct ---- what happens when you dont have an internet connection at all !

YOU CANT USE CLOUD

basicly you cant do nothing online (even use DJI)

so thats why I dont store what I think is needed close to me
other things i'll delete later

have a nice day

What license do you hold? I'd like to see that.

How does this license make it ok for music to be played when you are on the property but not ok once you leave the area?

Wouldn't it make much more sense for a group of members to upload their music to a google drive account set up for the lodge so all members could enjoy the music rather than making it dependent on who is there and who isn't?
 
now isnt that a copyright issue in that Scott ?

where more than one is using songs....
 
It would be if the music is available at any point to more than one person in more than one place (whether used or not).
