    Hey bud, winamp has an option to monitor folders. I stoped using it a while ago so I can't remember exactly where it is, but its in the preferences somewhere.

    Also a fantastic programme called "MediaMonkey" can "re scan music directory" which in effect does what you want.

    Foobar can do it if you have columns_ui and the component pack for it. It takes a bit of time and work to configure it though.

    I haven't used foobar in a looooong time, what DAPs can it manage? I really can't remember.

    iPods I think. I don't really know, the two DAPs in the house are an iRiver H340 and an iAudio X5 neither of which need anything to manage them bar Windows Explorer so I've never really looked into it.

    Yeah, makes sense, they're both UMS. As is the ipod technically, but it uses a specific file sorting to arrange its files.

    thanks found the winamp option to monitor now if only the id3 tags from itunes and winamp would play nice
