First off, I'm new to mac, so I hope I don't come off sounding too clueless.

I import music from CD's to my pc. My mac is connected wirelessly to my pc via wireless router. I am trying to create a workflow that will add any songs that have been added to my pc to my mac. I can set up the finder to look at the music folder on my pc and then add to itunes no problem, but I have to manually point the finder to the folder on my pc each time. Can I set automator to automatically mount the network folder on the mac, or to get autmator to automatically connect to the shared folder on my pc.
Again, sorry if this doesn't make too much sense, but any help would be appreciated.

OK, i found a tutorial that mounts a folder automatically through automator, and it half works. I can connect to my pc but I have to manually choose which folder I want to mount. It'll work, though.
One thing I noticed when watching the video tutorial. Why does my network icon in the sidebar have an eject icon next to it? I haven't seen that in any pictures or screen caps. Any ideas?
