just adding - no update

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
