it is interesting to me that itunes STILL doesn't have the ability for you to say "this folder is where all my MP3s will be found" and then have it auto scan that folder (and all subfolders) on a regular basis for updates.
Picassa has figured this out. Why can't they?

And the fact that they (apple) do it with a specific folder means they can do it with any folder, they just need to put in the ability to specify which one it is.
As far as mp3s? Winamp has done it for a while:

I always put all my music and videos in the same place, is there any way to configure Winamp to periodically check for any new media and automatically add it into my Library?
Absolutely. Winamp supports a feature called "Watch Folders". Using this feature, you can specify folders you wish Winamp to scan for new media. To access this feature, open the Winamp Preferences (CTRL+P) and select the "Watch Folders" tab within the "Local Media" view under the "Media Library" section. You may configure Winamp to periodically rescan these folders and automatically add any new media found to your Media Library. By default, auto rescanning is disabled. You may initiate a rescan of your folders by selecting the "Rescan Watch Folders" item within in the "Library" button menu located on the bottom left hand corner of your Media Library.
