New Media Access Control?
MAC isn't an acronym. It's an abbreviation.</pedant>

iTunes is simple. You either use it to manage your music, or you don't. However, if you use that screwdriver to start pounding nails, you're going to be disappointed with the results.

What iTunes works like on Windows isn't something that keeps me up at nights.

New Point being
if you make changes to the files once they are in the library...iTunes can't recursively find and change them. You delete and reinsert.

Most of the free players have the ability to "update" that iTunes lacks.

New So use one of those, then.
We're back to the screwdriver/nail interface again.

(I'll take this opportunity to note that you could probably write some AppleScript to do exactly what you describe, but that leaves Windows users SOL. Mind you, that's normality for Windows users)
