feature request: show whether you have synced a track

It would be handy, when using ferment offline, to see that you have synced a track and have it locally. I'm thinking just some small icon...

What should that icon look like? the internet has never needed this icon before!? maybe a pin?

haha or maybe a smiley face? A green glowing orb? I agree by the way.

hmm, actually I seem to get the spinner and it redownloads things that I know I already listened to, does ferment not keep all the things you play?

It should be keeping everything. But I'm using webtorrent to do the actual streaming to the audio element, so whenever you play the file webtorrent starts seeding it, which might be what you are seeing.

What version are you running? A bug caused it to depend on an internet connection to start playing (was resolving the magnet every time instead of caching the .torrent).

oh, right. so maybe webtorrent is trying to connect to the network before playing the file?

I remember noticing the other day when the internet went down (but still connected to wifi) that nothing would play. Tried to get to the bottom of it but unfortunately the internet came back up before I could! Everything works fine when I turn wifi off, so it must be something about having a network connection available. I'm sure I could simulate it, but haven't yet gotten around to it.
