Hi Ari, The Automatically Add to iTunes folder is simply an easy way to put files like music or ringtone files into the folder where they should be and at the same time to add them to the appropriate library. Keep in mind that just copying a rington into the ringtone folder or a song into the music folder does not mean these files are also added to the library which is to say if you just copy a song into the music folder and then open iTunes, that song is not yet in your list of music. You have to sync or update that list so to speak by going to File > Add file to library or File > add folder to library and select either a single file or an entire folder. If, however, you copy the song or ringtone to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, iTunes will do this automatically. It will know by the extension of the file where it should go.
The only time where this would not be of use is if you completely maintain all your media on an external drive or if you have it on the hard drive, but for some reason choose not to use the subfolders in the iTunes Media folder. I can see where somebody who has maybe a not very large solid state drive in their laptop may want or need to use an external drive if they have a ton of music or even more so for movies, but I don't see why one would not put ringtones in the default folder since they don't take up much space.

Is this assumption incorrect? Thanks, Ari > On Nov 26, 2015, at 10:36 PM, Alan Lemly <wale...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Sieghard, > > Thanks for reminding me of this so I can save a step.
