Does anyone know a way I can assign Spotlight keywords to music files when they are dropped onto iTunes?

I'm trying to get Automator to add Spotlight keywords to music files when they are added to iTunes (using "Set Spotlight Comments for Finder Items"). iTunes is set to manage the Media folder and automatically copy files into the Media folder when adding stuff to iTunes.

The iTunes Music folder it set as the folder action trigger, but when files are added to iTunes and then the music files are automatically copied into the Music folder, the Automator folder action isn't triggered. I assume this has something to do with the way iTunes is putting the new music files into this folder.

Thanks for any help.
