I have access to a shared Dropbox folder of music with around twenty other people. The folder structure is as such:
~/Dropbox/music/person1
~/Dropbox/music/person2
and so on.
Everyone has access to /music and adds to or deletes from their own directory without touching the contents of anyone else's, yet has full access to everyone else's directories. For this reason and others, I will not allow iTunes to manage my library. I would appreciate if "just let iTunes manage your library" comments would be kept to a minimum.
I wish iTunes to take the root /music folder and automatically populate my library with the contents of every person's sub-directory therein.
When I point iTunes at ~/Dropbox/music it creates /Automatically add to iTunes/ inside that folder. I can't then copy everyone's sub-dirs into that folder as it will wreck not only my filing but everyone else's too.
I have tried creating symlinks inside /Automatically add to iTunes/ which go back to ~/Dropbox/music/ but I cannot get it to work at all.
Does anyone have any ideas? It can't be this difficult, surely.
