As I stated, standard playlists will not reflect media library changes, so if that's what you're basing your observations on, please be comforted by the fact that your library is, in fact, still being updated. Hope that clears things up -- if only a little.

Well I deleted some files, but they don't get removed by foobar automatically. I need to do a refresh. I'm not sure what is a standard playlist vs. a media library playlist. I set up the D:\Music folder as my folder I am monitoring and all the songs appear.

Folder watching has been around since 0.9.6B2.

The way it now 'monitors' your library is superb, try altering a tag and watch it change in your media library[have it as a panel]. Try playing files in your playliist you've deleted or moved...no go.
