File Monitor Configuration
From the main menu, click Tools >
Options > Library > File
Monitor.
The File Monitor sets the Library to update its contents automatically for
Tracks or Podcasts contained within or moved into the specified
folder(s). To use this feature:
- Click Add Folder, and choose a folder
- Specify whether subfolder should also be monitored (generally they should)
- Specify whether the chosen folder should be monitored at Startup. If
a folder is monitored at startup, then any changes that occured in the Folder
while MediaMonkey wasn't running will be detected at startup. If the
folder is not monitored at startup, then the only changes that will be
detected are those that occur while MediaMonkey is running. Generally,
folders should be scanned at startup, however, this slows down the application
slightly, which is why some might prefer they not be scanned.
- Select 'Remove Unavailable Tracks' if you wish the library to be pruned of
any Tracks that have been moved or deleted from a monitored folder. This is
extremely useful, but keep in mind that if you move Tracks to a folder that
isn't monitored, then the Tracks would be removed from the Library
entirely.
