automatic update library...is it possible?

[arylic67]

Hi, is it possible to set the MM library so that every time I insert an artist's CD into the folder I've set in MM, the library automatically updates? without having to update the entire library every time, just to add a single folder. Currently, it's set to "automatic detection," but it doesn't update. Thanks.

Are you scanning in the CD (you can't play files without CD inserted) or are asking for Auto-Rip (files copied from CD to PC)?

Hi, I don't mean any ripping! I have several folders with FLAC songs. If I add these folders to the folder I've chosen for MM to play my 200 singers or bands, each time, to update the MM library, I have to scan all the artist folders. I don't want this to happen; I want MM's library to update every time I add a folder into the one that contains all of them. Thanks.

Just for a test have you tried adding the tracks to a folder that already contains an existing track? Continuous monitoring should see the new tracks but I am wondering if it catches new folders not already existing???

Folder Monitoing's Continuous Scan will pick up anything in the selected folder(s), including sub-folders. It won't pick up anything outside of that.

Hi, I tried to add a track to a folder that already has tracks, but MM doesn't detect the new track insertion. Where can I find Folder Monitoring? I can't find it.. I changed the monitoring of the folder containing the FLAC files to "on startup and continue," but now MM doesn't just add a single new track or folder, but scans hundreds of existing folders until they're all added. I don't want it to scan the entire folder every time, but only add a single folder or track. Is this possible?Thanks

Under File > Add/Rescan Files you can add folders to be monitored. Continuous monitoring will pick up changes while MediaMonkey is running.

Ok, I know it. Probably This is the only way to update the MM library. I thought that when I added a new track or folder, MM would simply add it without having to rescan each time. Thank you for your help and kindness.

Continuous will do this when MediaMonkey is running, startup scan will do an auto-scan if MediaMonkey was closed.
