thats my beef i think, itunes doesn't seem to rescan for changes, like to the tags, or deleted files... it SUCKS in this regard, b/c even if it does stuff automatically in the background, i have no idea if thats true, and even if it is, there should be manual control over scans, rescans, etc... its also counter-intuitive to "add" a folder you ALREADY added, when what you really want to do is scan for changes. and i got that option turned off. itunes is evil. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.2b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 45k+ mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82995 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
