here's a hint: View - Layout - Live Editing
Will try that out soon.
Problem is, even though I have a library, I still think the most brilliant thing about foobar is 'sort by folder structure'.
I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want iPhoto (if I had iPhoto) to organize his pictures. Want to do it myself, dammit!
And my windows XP was always gray and without animations.
So I guess Columns won't do much for me that foobar can't.
Using foobar from now on though. I love the standard interface

Can anyone tell me, step by step, how I should get foobar to update the 'watch folders' as they're called in winamp, automatically? I read somewhere it doesn't do that by itself.
