just adding - no update
Authored by: csshsh on Apr 28, '02 07:27:56AM

that script is basicly just adding all the files of my mp3 directories. but not really updating them. its adding mp3s which are already in my playlists, and doesnt remove the mp3s listen in the library, which dont exist on the filesystem anymore..

anybody got a idea? =)

The script is very simple and nevr meant to remove files. All I wanted to avioid was having to manually scan my Music folder all the time - wanted it setup as a cron job.

You might try:

That place is definitely the authority on iTunes Applescripts and it seems like I saw one there that deleted files no longer in your library.

Make sure to check out the thread in the forums about running osascript in cron....simple solution - but hard to figure it out. Using the solution provided - you can run your update via cron. Sure would like to anything you work up - maybe you could post here for us all.

If you are interested, we have a script called Link Playlist to Folder; lets you associate an iTunes playlist with a folder of audio files such that additions and deletions in the folder can be updated in the playlist. Doug Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes
