automatically update itunes playlist

[cybergoober]

For connecting to shares upon login in Mac OS X create an AppleScript containing the following:

mount volume "afp://user_name:pass_word@IP_Address/share_name"

Replace "user_name" "pass_word" "IP_Address" and "share_name" with the appropriate values.
Save it as an application, and put that app in your Startup Items/Login Items (depending on whether you're running Panther/Jaguar respectively).

This has worked for me. Another thing I like about that is the resulting mounted share doesn't automatically open like it does via "Connect to Server".

that's great if i want to mount the server on my computer. however, that still does not solve the problem. i'm more looking for a way to automatically update the servers itunes playlist automatically (say for instance when the computer starts up).
i just don't understand why apple refuses to enable itunes to AUTOMATICALLY scan your hard drive for any new mp3s and therefore update the playlist.
if itunes doesn't do this, is there another application out there that does?
