Hi, a newbie here. Love the app which I have been using for some time. I have started the process of importing my cd to Itunes and have MP3TAG running as well, but as I add more tracks to the library. MP3TAG does not seem to be aware of the new files, until I use the read directory menu item. This no problem when my library was small, but it is now 12k tracks so it takes a while to refresh. Does the program have some feature to respond to windows folder events automatically?
If this is not the case I would like it consider for a future release.

Nope. Mp3tag primary goal is to deliver a application that's able to make pancakes. The other features are non-important. Sorry you have been decieved. 🙂
