Add dropbox support for the location of the files to play

This will probably involve either adding

  1. another abstraction to the filesystem in the models OR
  2. A directive in the track model to indicate whether the track is local or remote

:+1: Awesome idea. I'm assuming this means that audio files in your Dropbox could be streamed instead of downloading your music folder(s) completely?

toroidal-code commented 10 years ago

Yup, exactly. Music would remain on dropbox, and spectra could handle organization and playing of the files.

@nicolasmccurdy - Yeah that's the goal. There is a chance that this get's done with more javascript than ruby. But I have to look at the ruby api before I say that.
