Problem: Downloads Folder Filling Up With MP3’s

I find new music everyday with the help of sites like The Hype Machine, I download mp3’s on a daily basis. My downloads stack in Mac OS X Leopard quickly turns from a stack, pile, to a big mess of mp3’s. I needed a way to keep it clean and organized without having to manually move my mp3’s from the downloads folder into my iTunes folder.

Solution: MP3 Cleanup

I created an Automator application that imports audio files from my downloads folder to my iTunes library and then deletes the audio files from my downloads folder. Please feel free to download MP3 Cleanup and give it a try. After downloading, just unzip the .zip and run the MP3 Cleanup Automator application.

This is my first time offering something like this to my readers, so I expect some criticism. Please leave comments below and let me know how you like the program.
