because it only allows you to do one folder at a time

also. . . At one point, the auto add was working single file at a time on the folder "D:\Media Files"

but then it stopped... changed the folder name to "D:\MediaFiles" (no space) and it started working again...

At anyrate, almost 1/2 my stuff is on my ipod. wrote a batch file to get it off the pod and into the HD library....

save this to a file, copyipod.bat:

dir %1 /s/b > %temp%files.txt
for /f "tokens=3,4* delims=\" %%i in (%temp%files.txt) do copy %1\%%j\%%k %2\%%j%%k
del %temp%files.txt

execute from the command line:

copyipod "mounted path to ipod music folder" "path to auto add folder"

this worked on my ipod classic 160GB , mounted to drive letter I:

copyipod "I:\iPod_Control\Music" "D:\MediaFiles\Automatically Add to iTunes"
