Updating iTunes Previous Top Next

The version 9 of iTunes has a feature which will automatically keep iTunes up to date with added files. In the Media Folder, there is a directory called "Automatically Add to iTunes". If you put a file in this folder, iTunes will move it to either the Movies subdirectory of the Media Folder or the TV Shows\<show name> subdirectory, and then add it to iTunes.

By using the Preferences->File->Place tagged files in ... and delete Original feature of Preferences, you can tag a file and have it automatically added to iTunes. To also keep your Apple TV in sync, you can also use the iTunesWatcher program.

By using these two features, you can have a "one-click" experience with your tagged files, iTunes and Apple TV. Rip the movie to a directory and then when you tag it, MetaX will move it to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, iTunes will move it to the correct place in your media folder and iTunesWatcher will see it and automatically sync your Apple TV!
