feature(existing-library): add support for pointing "Gen3 " stations at an existing music library #14
Currently "gen3" stations utilize a /Songs folder that contains all the song files for that station. For a station akin to "Independence FM", that means a user is manually copying their existing music files to that folder that are likely duplicated elsewhere on the device. The process is just a bit tedious and means you have to remember to sync this folder when you add new music to your other libraries.
Ideally, we would have some way to point a gen3 station at an existing music library folder/files to just use them in place.
This is an ease-of-use and storage-space-saving enhancement more than anything.
Challenges
Know challenges here are:
Requesting permissions for another, customizable folder and all its files
How do we accomplish this in a way that doesn't result in even more complex configuration?
