Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/1214

Description
While it is possible to import large libraries via both the web interface and the terminal, the web interface becomes unusable while the library is importing, which is not a convenient when importing large libraries (mine is 23k files) takes a very long time.

Example
If implemented, clicking the sync button would start the sync in the background, allowing use of the interface while the library is importing.

It's a nice idea, but in practice, it might not be that simple. What if the syncing process removes those songs being displayed (and interacted with) on the web interface? How about timeouts? This can lead to weird behaviors and errors.

IMO if you have a large library, it's best to use the command line. After all, the web isn't designed for such long tasks.

I agree with that, especially as you can have it run as a cron task in the background.

Closing as I don't plan to support this in the near future.
