I'm looking for an itunes plugin for OS X that will let me have a playlist separate from my library that would monitor a folder. The goal is to have a folder of new music on my computer and have it automatically loaded into itunes without having to add the songs to the actual library. Limewire does something like this for its download folder in windows, but I'd rather not install a whole program to do something like this. Any ideas?

Having switched to a Mac (love it!) and bought an Apple TV, I have used the Elgato Turbo.264 to covert a few years of TV/video to the H.264 mp4 format. When I try to import it to iTunes to use with Apple TV, only about half the files will add to library. All of the files open with Quicktime, and there is no error message from iTunes, they just don't add! [more inside]

iTunes puts cover art in one of two places: embedded within the MP3s, or in a separate folder (~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork). I prefer the latter. Is there a program that will take the embedded cover art out of my files and store it in the Album Artwork folder instead? I'm on an Intel Mac.

A fairly simple iPod/iTunes question—when I plug in the iPod, I would like the browser on iTunes to automatically be there (so I don't have to press apple + b), and I'd like it to be arranged by album, by year (so I don't have to click the "year" field every time). Is this possible? Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Nevertheless, does some kinda list of what I have in iTunes get beamed back to the Apple mothership via the iTunes software?
