Hi, I often play my music in places with no or bad internet access.

It would be nice to be able to download playlists and artists. Maybe even with format/bitrate selection (to save storage space) and a download overview page?

I agree, an offline mode could be great !

I really want to use this to access my navidrome on a windows machine but the lack of offline caching is a big hurdle.

Aproxia-dev commented 1 year ago

If this was to get added, I feel like it would be greatly appreciated if there was an option to transcode all the songs that are stored locally. My navidrome server has all the songs in flac quality, and I feel like my laptop that's still rocking nothing but a single 256GB drive would really appreciate it if I'd cut it some slack this way... :sweat_smile:

Boost on this. I really want to use Feishin on my Laptop but I'm really often without stable internet,

Hello, I'm testing out Feishin and it all looks great but without offline support it's unusable to me :(

Could we use the relatively new FileSystem API to start storing offline data for the tracks at least?

I did a minimal experiment with StorageManager API, and I think it can be done using StorageManager.

The most unclear parts are:

Need a way to playback the data. I dont think we can run a proxy webserver to serve the files, as the file data would be locked away inside StorageManager of Chromium. But youtube somehow makes it work for them.
Need a persistent way to keep track of which songs we have downloaded or are supposed to hold offline. IndexedDB ?
- Track formats and transcoding of format if needed.
The metadata will also need to be stored offline for full offline usage.
- Plus album art

So to make it truly offline will be quite a bit of work.

Is this something I can work on? If so, could someone direct me to the parts that would be required to change.
