Thanks Ken for the note,
Actually I am trying to keep a close contact with users and try to stack on features and requests as needed. Since I am in direct control of development, we can add new things almost daily.
I give you an example of what we are looking at today:
I had a meeting with a very big electronics giant yesterday, as I am trying to get them involved in the RZ project as a backer (more like bigger brother lol)
The WiFi at the offices of this company was so secure that it did not show up on my MacBook on the Mac or PC side!
The question the exec asked me was "Well obviously Amazon storage works for most of the world, but what about companies like us that would need the assurance of storing data on our own servers in our vaults downstairs"
Clearly I want the business of this company just as a user of RZ, this would be great.
So, here is what we are looking at and designing today:
We will build a 2nd mode to RZ which will allow any user to add a FTP location (to their private servers for storage) and we will "Pass-Through" data saved in your RZ license, which gains the benefit of our file anonymous security writing (so mysong.wav now becomes DKFJ2039SDJKSDSKJ). If anyone breach access to the client owned servers, all they will see is a bunch of serial numbers lol, no file extentions no folder no nothing, 100% anonymous.
Some would ask "Well why do I need RZ to do this on my server when we can use FTP direct?"
The issue with FTP is that you do not get the payment front end that RZ provides, and also, just for file sharing with clients and colleagues, you have to constantly create FTP permissions or often give access to 1 single FTP location with multiple client folders in 1 place.
When a post production house of Warner Movie Studios want to send a director and producer a burnable DVD of the previous days shoot (dailies), now its as easy as creating a Zip file of a VIDEO_TS or ISO file.
Back to music: I was thinking of adding a way to sell individual files which is easy for us to add, but I personally love iTunes and think that this is what they do well and we want to keep RZ in its own "lane" for users that already use iTunes. So instead of a user kicking themselves trying to decide "which one should I use", hopefully this will make it easier to say "Ha, I can use both!"
Ehh, long post here, I have been writing all morning and in turbo mode lol
