[QUOTE="claudius753, post: 118429, member: 10917"] I think that some of what I wanted to do is custom. But the important things are available. It would go: 1 Find Finder Items (Location= ~/family stuff Name contains mp3) 2 Copy to Playlist in iTunes (This would ensure that they were in the library, a backwards way to do it, but it should work) 3 Move Items to Trash These should all be available in Automator. Heres the problem. If i just do "Find Finder Items" followed by "View Results" to see what it is passing to the next step, it finds nothing. If I do the "Find Finder Items" on a different folder (such as Home) if finds plenty, just not in any of the one folder I want it to see. It seems for some reason, that it won't look in the folder I want it to. I think this may have something to do with permissions? [/QUOTE]
