Brilliant! Works perfectly and is very simple. Took 5 minutes to download and sync my windows music directory with iTunes library. Makes up for Microso…I mean Apples shortcomings.

This works really well, and it’s a life saver. I was like.. ” The reviews are horrible. ” But gave it a try, and the trial version works like a charm. (:

To itunes lova:

“x\.exe” files are executable files (program files) for Windows-based machines. Macs do not use “.exe” files.

In other words, “iTunes Folder Watch” is a Windows-only program, and cannot be used on your Mac.

It would be nice to have a Mac version of this program, as the need is the same for Mac users of iTunes as for Windows users.

Question. On the initial scan this software had checks on all of the files in my monitor folder. 3/4 of these tracks are already in my Itunes so I dont want to click the “add checked tracks to itunes” button fearing that i might create duplicates in my Itunes folder. How do you handle this initial startup question? Thanks.

As a long-time administrator of IT departments, I more than understand the skepticism voiced above. I was also a little apprehensive until I pulled down a copy and let it churn through about 15,000 files, 4,500 of which it found and added back to my iTunes installation flawlessly. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

I’m the author of Folder Watch. I can reassure you this is not old software, it’s being improved all the time, and the forum is active. You can watch UNC paths now for one thing.
