    Keep iTunes in sync with FolderShare

    One of things I use FolderShare for is to keep my music in sync between my different computers.  If I buy a song from the iTunes store at home I want to be able to listen to it at work without having to copy it to flash drive, email, etc.  That's where FolderShare is great, but what isn't great is that even after all the new songs have synced between the computers you still have to manually tell iTunes to look for new music.  This has always been the one hiccup in an otherwise perfect "multi PC music managment solution", until now. 
     
    I read about a utility called iTLU (iTunes Library Updater) this now takes care of that annoying need to manually update your library.  You can download iTLU here.  I haven't had time to install this yet myself so I can't speak directly how well it works or not, but it sounds like just the thing I need.  I plan to play around with it this weekend.

    It's probably because the folder paths referenced in the library are different from computer to computer.

    OK, I'm not quite understanding this.  Why don't you sync the iTunes Library xml files as well?
