So I add a lot of music to my Itunes regularly. I want to know is there a way for the folder to just update that I sync with it instead of me having to delete all music then re-add so I can add my new music?

I could answer this if your question made any sense.

This just furthers the stereotype that lesbians are stupid.

Also, this thread is useless without pics.

You may want to reword your question though, it is quite confusing.

Haha you guys are just so funny. I was a little intoxicated when I typed that on my phone.

Anyways this is what I want to do:

1. I put all my music in a folder
2. I add new music to this same folder.
3. Is it possible for Itunes to recognize there is new music in this folder without having to add it to Itunes?

No. Just click the new songs to play and they will be added.

Really? iTunes can't do that? Hmm another reason I don't use it. I'd kill myself if I had to manually add all my new songs to my music software.

I don't quite understand the issue.

Its rather simple to use. I've used almost every music managing program out there and nothing compares to itunes and I DJ and have around 12k songs.

Make sure under advanced preferences that the box is checked that says "Copy files to Itunes media folder when adding to library" Click to play/add files to library, they copy to the folder, trash the downloaded files. Simple.

iTunes for Windows can do that.

If iTunes for Windows can do it then iTunes for OS X will do it faster. Apple makes terrible Windows software.

iTunes for Windows as well as Safari for Windows are notorious for being performance hogs.

Both are excellent on OS X.

He's right. Apple software on Windows is pretty lousy.
