Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you are talking about your Categories within your Library, right? You are saying if you have your auto set to scan your D:\breaks folder on your HD, you want the tracks from that folder to go into a category for breaks in your Library.... And you are right, there is no mechanism for this happening automatically.
As a workaround, you can sort your library by filename, which would group all D:\breaks material together, and then select that and "Add to Category" from the right-click menu ... it's not automatic but it is very quick. BTW, I'm not sure how that auto-add feature would work if you had a folder on your HD without a similar category already created in the Library -- where would those new tracks be stored in that case? I tend to acquire music first, including making a specific folder for it on the HD, so in my case, the folder would already exist when I start up MixMeister ... but the category for that new folder would not exist yet.... I got something for your mind, your body and your soul. |

Yea, you are correct.
I get new tracks alot, and i put them in a folder and listen to them and see wehre they go. then the Break stuff goes into \breaks, the house stuff into \house and so on. I have Categroies in my library, 2 of them are /breaks and /house. I dont want to go and scan the folder each time to add the new tracks, and i dont want to ad them 1 by 1. Just my /break folder is around 14,000. So, putting a monitor on it, and when i add the new tracks to the folder, and then when i open MM, it scans the "Monitored" folders, and adds the tracks the the categorie in the library. Then when i got to make a mix, i know the new tracks are there. Yea, i could sort, but that is why this is a "wishlist" |

is this not the same as the current option already available "monitoring folders for new music"? i have not utilized that feature yet, but here is what is in the help files...
is this feature used by most here? is it recommended? |

OK, that might do what i need it to do, but i have now followed that, i added a directory for monitoring, and clicked OK. It didnt do anything. I restarted MM, and it still doesnt add it automaticly. I have added a folder that i have never used. I want to see if it will do it by itself, but so far no luck. |

OK, nevermind, i see what is doing. It is working, i just need to add the root folder and not the one i added.
I added M:\80's and in that dir on the hard drive, it is like M:\80s\Rock M:\80s\Pop and so on, So, when i added M:\80s, in MM now, it just has librarys like POP and Rock, but doesnt say anything about 80's i need to do some teaking, but its on my end |

OK
so i tested, and it does good, but, the way it says it does, doesnt work. I added remvoed ALL tracks from my MM. That way i can test better. Then i added M:\unreleased It scanned it all fine, found all the tracks,but it didnt make a categorie. It should of made "unrelesed", but it didnt. There are no categories. All the tracks are there, but no categories and i do have the box checked. |

same here david.
i tested this cool feature by creating a new folder... H:\My Music Files\mm test with 2 subfolders... H:\My Music Files\mm test\mm test B H:\My Music Files\mm test\mm test C i then added a track to the "main folder" (H:\My Music Files\mm test) which mm found and plotted, however mm did not create a category in the library. i then added a track to the test B folder and test C folder... mm once again found the tracks and plotted them, but this time it created 2 separate category entries in the library named "mm test B" and "mm test C" as it should have. so it appears that mm has the ability to update and add new tracks within any folder, but it can only create category entries for subfolders. still a very cool feature nonetheless. if this is a bug, i hope it gets considered in a future update. |

Based on past history, I think MM rarely releases an individual bug fix; in general, when you have a version update or a new version release is when you can expect to see the various issues resolved, wish list items added and everything released all together.
