This script watches the iTunes folder for changes. As soon as something is changed iTunes will update the xml file. This change is watched by this launchd service. It starts rsync which syncs all changed/new music to the network drive.
Launchd services of the user live in ~/Library/LaunchAgents. They have to be loaded with launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgent/scriptname.plist. I recommend installing the "lunchy" gem, which makes this more easy.

Hi.
I am really interrested in getting this to work, but I lack some programming skills on MAC.
How do I get this to run ?
How do I get the script to automount my NAS drive ?
