      Hello everyone,

      I use Strawberry and miss the automatic monitoring of music folders. It would be great if Strawberry could detect changes in music folders (e.g., newly added, deleted, or modified files) in real time and then automatically update the library without me having to manually trigger a rescan.

      Are there any plans to integrate such a feature? Or are there perhaps already workarounds to enable this behavior?

      Thanks & best regards!

        @StrawberryAR There is an option in the settings to enable monitoring of the collection.

          You need to add the folders to the collection in Settings / Collection. And make sure "Monitor the collection for changes" is checked.
