Hi,

I am storing all my MP3s and JPGs on a NAS system connected to my Time Capsule. I access these files from my Macs, and also from a Netgear EVA8000 Media Player in my living-room. Hence, I cannot utilize the iTunes and the iPhoto library, as the EVA requires the MP3s and the JPGs to be stored in a "normal" file structure.

So I "imported" the files into iTunes and iPhoto, without "copy to iTunes library" and the "copy items to the iPhoto library" checked.

Now my question is; how do I set iTunes and iPhoto to continuously scan my network for added files? I add MP3s and JPGs constantly, as do my wife, and I just want iTunes and iPhoto to stay updated.

Thanks in advance for any advise/suggestions.
