I've got all of my mp3s on an external fw drive called "lil' guy." My iTunes library is also set to this volume/location. BUT, when I add songs to this location, say by copying them from my download directory that Limewire uses, they don't get added to the music Library - iTunes does not pick up that new songs were added to the library folder, and the songs do not appear in the library section for all of the songs in iTunes.

It would be a big a55 pain to add them after the fact, manually, especially when you'd think by putting new files in the library, it'd automagically add them, or at the very least, scan it's library folder, set in prefs, for new additions.

Am I missing something here? Is there an AppleScript that would do this? Help!

Thanks,

Alan

I believe you have to add music to the library manually. Just pick the whole drive. It should only add new additions to the file.
File-> Add to library
