I use EAC+Mareo to rip flac+mp4 (nero encoder) into two directories:

My Music\Artist\Album\*.mp4 -- the mp4s
My FLACs\etc. -- identical hierarchy but, you guessed it, flacs

I want something that will keep the My Music directory/subdirectories in sync with itunes. Any ideas?
I.e. if I add a song/album itunes will pick it up and if I delete a song/album itunes will pick it up.

I don't use itunes for anything other than loading my ipod, so I'm not necessarily hung up on using it if there's an alternative foobar workaround (or something linux oriented for that matter)

I wish the bloody ipod just worked on a simple directory structure like my every other cheap mp3 player does! As far as I can tell there's no reason other than to frustrate the illegal sharing of files for the stupid db style storage system on them.

Any ideas?

Ta,

try ephpod and/or vpod, or even the foo_pod plugin for foobar

You could try iTunes Folder Watch. I haven't tried it, but I have been using their iTunes Album Browser which is amazing!
