Watch Folders (iHomeServer Web Access)

 
The iHomeServer Web Access Watch Folder view allows you to navigate your iTunes media via your Watch Folder hierarchy.  This can be useful if your tracks are organised on disk within a logical file/folder structure and you are yet to update your tracks with meaningful metadata such as Album, Artist.  iHomeServer and iHomeServer Web Access make it easy for you to fix this.

When you tap a media file, a menu will appear with the following options: Play Here, Play via iTunes, Download, Edit Metadata, AutoTag (if a video file), Add to Playlist, Delete, Cancel.
