The important caveat is that when you put stuff into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, you must do so atomically, i.e. move, not copy. You can do so using the Command-C to copy, then Command-Option-V to move strategy. I must admit that I find myself using Terminal more and more for simply moving items from Downloads into the auto-add folder, though if I thought about it, there'd be a way--if tedious--to do it exclusively using the Finder.
It is OK to tell iTunes, using the Add to Library option, to add your existing Music folder in your Home folder; sometimes when the library gets corrupted you can do that to simply restore access to all your media. This is also a great way to reveal duplicates. iTunes never adds to its catalog any media file that it already knows about, so this operation is completely safe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
