frankz, for one, apple is about to split itunes up into multuple apps, and there's a lot of unknowns there. itunes might not work the same as it has for the last decade.
but other than that, itunes is the last part of me in the apple ecosystem, and I want to leave. never wanted an iphone, got rid of my macbook a few years ago, etc. and couldn't be happier.
re: monitering an incoming folder, are you suggesting i can basically have two different library folders?
Right now, itunes orders music like below
C:\Users\Name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\The Cure/ETC...
I'd just like to make sure that
1. when I start renaming folders, that MB will make the necessary changes to the track file names (that serato will then read and function from)
and
2. Moving forward, for new music, that as long as I'm moving the files to the correct, general library folder, that MB will organize the files similar to itunes...
Also, completely unrelated but while I have the attention, itunes has a small but great option to click on a track and see which playlists that track already is in...does MB have this feature and I'm just not seeing it? and if not, is there a way to enact?
Thank you both for the discussion.
