Add Folder Monitoring to iTunes 9

Hits:20

Well, iTunes 9 is finally here, and with it comes a boatload of highly anticipated features. Interface redesign? Uh...no. A music-subscription option? Uh...no. Smaller footprint? Nuh-uh. Well, surely iTunes can finally monitor folders, right?
 
Sigh. No.
 
Amazingly, impossibly, iTunes still lacks one of the world's most basic music-management features. Apple remains unwilling to acknowledge that people get music from other sources.
 
I mean, sure, any songs ripped from CDs or purchased from the iTunes Store automatically get added to your library, but that's it. If you rip discs with a different program or buy music from other stores, you'll have to import them manually. Yo! Steve Jobs! What up?! 
 
Fortunately, an oldie-but-goodie solution is still available: iTunes Folder Watch, a free utility for Windows (sorry, Mac faithful), monitors designated folders, then automatically adds any newly discovered music to your iTunes library.
 
 
The free version saddles you with nag screens and a few disabled features; you can get a lifetime license (well worth it, IMHO) for 7.50 Euros (about U.S.). 
 
Of course, you could always wait for iTunes 10, which by my calculation will arrive around 2015. You know what they say: tenth time's the charm.
