I have to say that it would be good to have one consolidated archive. Mooo
is great but sometimes if you're looking for a particular show you have to
trawl through all the different users directories.

One big archive with a standardised naming convention and folders per year
would be brilliant.
Or at least brilliant for those of us with OCD filing tendencies...

I seem to remember that Rocker was keeping stuff on his iCloud or something
at one point?
