I've surveyed multiple cloud services for storing music, both generic and music-oriented. So I'm here to cut through that and outline a plan for you to implement music library backups. Again and again, we have good intentions to eventually implement backups, but we never quite get around to it. The result is that backups are, for many people, The Job That Gets Put Off. When should you choose this service, and when should you choose a different service? Now there are different types of backup services with different pricing structures and different capabilities. The emergence of the cloud has made this even more overwhelming. This complexity means we immediately see an upcoming cost, mostly in terms of our time. Depending on how complex you want to get, backups are not trivial. It's almost a cliche it's something told to us but also something many of us don't do. But the reality is that the impact of the latter far outweighs the former. Rarely do I think 'what would I do if I accidentally deleted my entire music library'. Most of the time I'm thinking 'what music should I add to my collection'. What's the funnest thing I can do right now? I've got a headache - where's the paracetamol?

Dan is a great resource in this area and I encourage people to ask follow up questions and check out his app Bliss, that makes music collections look as good as they sound.Īs humans we're great at a lot of things, but those things tend to be addressing short term stuff. Fortunately, Dan agreed to write the following article about backing up music libraries to the cloud. I found that Dan had recently written a similar article, so I asked him to create something similar for Audiophile Style. Editor's Note: While researching cloud music backup solutions I checked the Bliss music library management blog from Bliss creator Dan Gravell.
