Updating media library automatically
I am using Songbird 1.0 and I wonder if there is any possibility that every time I fire up Songbird, it scans for the new media added to the folder so that it keep my library up to date.
Thanks

Inappropriate?Watch Folders.
They're working on it, it will probably be in the next release (1.1.0).
See some of the new and upcoming features here: http://www.getsongbird.com/features/
Or the Roadmap here: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Roadmap
I’m confident

If I could just run the initial setup wizard again at any point in time (it asks you where all your songs are), without having to uninstall songbird and reinstall, that would be fine with me. even if I have to wait for it to rebuild the library from scratch. -
While looking for a feature that would auto-update my library, I re-ran the File | Import Media... function from my vanilla installation of 1.0 and it rescanned my Music folders and only added the new files that were there (no duplicates that I could see). This might be a work-around until the feature is released. -
Thank you for your hard work, it appears from other posts that this feature has been a priority in the development tree for awhile...it must be difficult to code (or a key dev left the project). If you have to cut one feature or another from the February release, may I cast my vote for this one to be the top priority? Thank you again for your hard work. -Jay -
Inappropriate?This is just silly. Why are we wasting our time on a beta...that's what it is folks, a lipstick on a pig beta release...when there are better, finished library software out there. I have been a supporter of Songbird for a long time, and dealt with crap after crap releases...but to call this a full release and miss things like "Scan for changes" and "Auto-tag", etc, etc...that is not a full release in 2008.
Send a message and tell them to !@#$ until they get it right. Sorry, but this was the last straw.
