Monitoring is either instantaneous or happens over a very short cycle time via something like Linux's FAM. If this were to be integrated into iTunes, they could make it do it right :)įolder monitoring doesn't have to be instantaneous! DO YOU NOT GET THE IDEA OF SCHEDULED TASKS The problem with itunes and "watch folders" is that when you "open" a file in itunes it imports AND plays at once. As I say, I never really look at the folder structure when it comes to my mp3s. I don't know if this is caused by checking that 'part of a compilation' check box. It doesn't create a separate folder for each song at all. I'm not sure why you are having that problem with compilations - the V/A compilations I have all seem to go in a folder called 'Compilations' and then in subfolders named after the title of the compilation. If you retag the tracks correctly then it will put them in right artist folder. I hardly ever even look at the file directories for mp3s. What I still don't understand about all this is why it matters to you what folders the mp3s are in.
That gets really tiring after you get more than a few gigs of mp3s downloaded or ripped. Have a compilation folder with a bunch of different' artist's tracks? It'll create a folder for each individual song. The itunes version of this (aside from the slightly clunkier hands-on interface after you load it) is to take your entire mp3 folder and, based on what might be incorrect tags, just put them into the folders it deems best in an automatic process that you have no control over.
