The biggest feature I miss from using MediaMonkey is how you can set a watch folder that also auto organizes. This way if you correct an artist or title in a tag, it auto-organizes it as well.

I'm trying to set this up in MC but can't figure out how. I setup watch import folders but don't see if I can apply each watch folder with autosort rules. Is there a plugin for this?

It's not clear what you expect, but MC can write changes to the file. 

Also look at the wiki topic on Rename, Move, & Copy.

I believe they mean an option when running auto-import to automatically run Rename, Move, & Copy on the imported files without user intervention. iTunes also did this kind of thing back in the day on anything you imported, it'd rename files and add things like track number and disc number.

Basically how it could work is; auto-import finds new files and imports them into MC, the Rename, Move, & Copy tool is then silently used in the background setup to whatever the user wants it to do and executes it and then MC updates itself to the changes of the newly imported files.

I admit, that would come in handy. Automating import to automatically use Rename, Move, & Copy based on my default rules then automatically use update tags from library would be a major time saver. It'd be like scripting import and how it should do it if you have a preference so it saves time.

I think that you can modify filename tag when auto importing file so that will move the file if your expression will say so. Haven't set it like that myself so not sure

No, because I need to physically sort the files on my hard drive. I would need a "move on import."

Exactly this!
