Automatically Add to iTunes 

If you’re like most musicians, you probably have duplicate copies of many of your MP3s, because you dragged them from your desktop or downloads folder into iTunes, and iTunes made a copy for you.

The Automatically Add to iTunes folder is the key to eliminating a bunch of duplicates all over your computer. Go to Users/YOU/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes.

Right click on this folder to create an alias that you can keep on your desktop or your downloads folder,

…or just drag the folder up to your finder window header.

You can drag Mp3s into this folder and it will correctly move them to your iTunes library – and iTunes doesn’t need to be open when you do it.

You can set up another alias for the iTunes libraries you keep on your external drive. To have a second library, you’ll need to learn how to make multiple libraries…
