Auto add files from a folder to a Foobar playlist?

Is there any way of getting Foobar to monitor folders for changes and then auto adding new files to a specified playlist?

Would be very nice for freshly downloaded music etc.

I think the next version has automatic folder monitoring. You should be able to get the behaviour you want using an autoplaylist with the query "$directory(%path%,x)" IS "Whatever" when the new version is out.

Ok, found a great way to do this using the lastest Foobar 0.9.5.5 and foo_dirwatch: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=41298

Set dirwatch to monitor your music folder
Enter preferences > Media Library, select "Search" and press Activate.
Specify the folder you want to bind to a playlist, fx Music/New
Press the "..." button and choose create autoplaylist. Voila

Now this playlist will auto add/remove files added/removed from the folder.
