I use it myself, but mainly because I have to to get some music on my iPod Touch.
So in the period that I have been using iTunes I have tried to make the best of it.
This can be done in two ways.
One condition however is that you have to let iTunes manage your music.
The automatic way does work very easy though.
All you need isiTunes 9.
It already comes with the feature installed, many people just don’t know about it.
Here’s more information from the Apple website.
This way iTunes handles everything for you.
If you prefer to have more control yourself you might use an app likeiTunes Folder Watch.
I normally prefer freeware, but this does most of what we need in the free version.
It allows you to pick a folder to synchronize with your iTunes library.
The paid version does this automatically, but with the free version you have to do it yourself.
An alternative to iTunes Folder Watch isiWatchSyncer.
My favorite alternative by the way is to ditch iTunes altogether and start usingMediaMonkey.
This program has all you need from a media player and even more in the gold version.
We havewritten in the past about itand has all the folder syncing you need.
What software do you use for managing your music and filling your iPod or iPhone?
Are you using iTunes and had you already discovered the auto adding feature?
