iTunes Library Updater does what iTunes ought to do by itself: It keeps iTunes' library updated by automatically adding new tracks from the directories of your choice and removing tracks for which the files no longer exist. It's a simple and straightforward app and there's even a command-line version so you can schedule it to run without having to babysit it.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

been using this for a while, and can confrim that it's the simplest, most straightforward solution for fixing itunes insanely negligent oversights i've seen yet. i do run into problems when choosing just "update trackinfo" ... for that, it seems the best solution remains "select all" in itunes and then "get info", which updates all tracks' tags.

Oh man, pretty soon there will be enough handy third-party apps and hacks to make iTunes halfway as functional as Winamp has been for years!

sorry bud, but winamp is dead. it's ill thought-out, boorishly inelegant in its base skin and garishly overwrought in usermade skins, and the music management is a total afterthought. it was great back in 2.x, when it really was king of the hill.
yes, you have to utterly sell your soul to adopt the iTunes way, and there are many who -- like me -- succumbed only after auditioning every other piece of software and finding them all deficient in one way or other, and decided that id tag organization was unfortunately the best way to do things. once you figure out a routine to make iTunes work for you, it's really very pleasant to use.

Yes, but at least with Winamp I can have 5000+ tracks and still add another 10 in under an hour, something iTunes apparently can't handle.

See, I keep trying out iTunes with every version, and find it lacking in many basic Winamp features. Beyond that, it's an unbelievable memory hog. The version of Winamp I've got can do podcasts and iPod transfers, great media library mamagement, and can handle more of my music-listening needs than iTunes. It's another case of Apple making a fantastic product for 80% of people, that falls way short for the other 20%.
