Is there a way to add an mp3 to my iTunes library programmatically from a 3rd party app?

It would probably be helpful to specify what operating system you're running — Jamie Wong, Jun 22 '10 at 23:04
I've modified the title to match the question, since the user seems to be satisfied with non-API answers (and a lot of people reading this question would not be).

Itunes has a folder in which you can place a file in order to automatically add it to the library.

C:\Users\Your Username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\

in windows.

Check out this third party plugin: http://albumbrowser.klarita.net/ Apart from the background monitoring program to be a bit buggy its the best I have found and works well once all setup.
