Monitor Remote Folder and Add to ITunes Sat Jul 23, 2016 10:31 am • by dmitrycy
Hey guys!

I'm thinking of buying Hazel if it can do the following thing:

I have a network folder shared via AFP (I have it shared via SMB also) which contains my MP3 files that I play in iTunes. The folder is mounted when I want to use it. What I want Hazel to do is to monitor this folder for any new additions to it, and when it detects new MP3 files to automatically add them to the iTunes library.

Is that possible?

Thank you! :)

Are the files all directly in that folder or in subfolders? If the former, then you can add a rule to import mp3s into iTunes. It should be pretty straightforward. Post here if you run into specific issues.
