Looks useful. Wish there was a magic box like this that did the same sort of thing on my PC. e.g., movie file over 600MB, put it on external storage Vega next time it's connected, categorised by starting letter; MP3 extension, add to iTunes database without having to load slug iTunes.

Doesn't Windows have something like OSX's Folder Actions that could do this?

Hazel can do all of those things except add stuff to iTunes without opening the application (unless you count moving files to the Add to iTunes directory).
