Alright, looks like the solution indeed doesn't actually need any kind of plugin. I have yet to test if things work fine on my other systems, but I just moved the entire gmusicbrowser config directory into Dropbox and put a symbolic link to it in ~/.config. Didn't seem to break anything, but I will have to see what it does on my other systems (once I set up the symbolic links on those systems too).

Yes indeed. As I said:
QuoteDownside is of course that whoever writes this plugin will need a reliable server that can handle enough data, or perhaps find a way to do it through existing cloud solutions.

As things are, yes. The point would be to have a latest version of the data online at all times so that all instances of gmusicbrowser can download (and upload) to that and basically have the same stats without the user having to manually copy that file over from system to system. The fact that all these stats are actually in a single file (probably?) makes it easier to implement.
Note that this is just a request to perhaps give a developer out there ideas. :) However, if nobody ends up being interested, I might try to learn Perl and give it a try myself. Just seems like an useful thing to have when you're working on several systems!

I'm pretty sure this doesn't exist yet, but I think it would be of some use.
You see, I use gmusicbrowser across three different computers. And the main issue is, my ratings and custom playlists all exist separately, with no way to have them be the same across all three computers (unless I copy gmusicbrowser's settings of course).
So I was thinking... Maybe it would be nice to have a plugin that can sync this data. It would certainly be useful for people like me with huge collections to be able to slowly fill in their library with appropriate ratings, view counts, playlists, layout etc, and make sure these stay, even when switching computers, without having to backup and copy over these settings every time.
