Scan folder for mp3s and play?
Will soundmanager scan a folder for 'mp3' files and queue them automatically?
I will be frequently adding/changing my mp3s and dont want to have to keep editing the source...

Inappropriate?Client side apps don't generally have access to view folder contents. You CAN enable this in apache I believe, but it would be much much easier to make a server-side script to compile a list of available songs and send that to the client.
Don't have an example on me, but I know that the php filesystem objects certainly allow that kind of action. Just about any server-side scripts do. -
Inappropriate?Yep, what bum51 said. I actually include a bit of example PHP script in one of the demos, which does just that sort of thing - loop through a directory, and write out links to the MP3 files.
General disclaimer: I'm not a PHP expert, this may be inefficient or not terribly secure, etc.
<?php
// print out MP3s in a given directory
// format:
// <li><a href="/my/music/artist - title.mp3">artist - title</a></li>
function listMP3s($path) {
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$path;
$dirlength = strlen($dir);
$dh = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
// print "filename: $filename<br />";
if (stristr($filename,'.mp3')) $files[] = $path."/".basename($filename);
if ($filename != "." && $filename != ".." && is_dir($dir."/".$filename)) listMP3s($path."/".$filename); // recurse through subdirectories
// print ("is dir: ".(($filename != "." && $filename != ".." && is_dir($dir."/".$filename))?"Yes":"No")."<br />");
}
rsort($files);
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($files); $i++) {
print " <li><a href=\"".dirname($files[$i])."/".rawurlencode(basename($files[$i]))."\">".basename($files[$i])."</a></li>\n";
}
}
listMP3s('/my/music');
?>
