Libretime's media library is inside the */srv/airtime/stor/* folder on your server, by default.
Edits to your stored media files are noticed by Libretime. If you edit any file known to the database and change its duration, Libretime will automatically adjust the duration of playlists, smart blocks and shows that the file is included in. If you edit the metadata tags of a file, Libretime will automatically update the database with the new information. This may invalidate existing playlists or smart blocks that the file is part of. For example, if you use 'genre' as a search criteria to create a playlist or smart block and then edit the 'genre' tag for a file, that file may no longer match the original search criteria. A playlist or static smart block would still have an entry for the original file if either of these items was created before you modified the tag of the file in question.
Libretime's media library is inside the */srv/airtime/stor/* folder on your server, by default. Tracks are uploaded into the imported subdirectory and then a separate directory based upon the user ID # of the user who uploaded it and then into a folder based upon the artist.
LibreTime unlike Airtime does not currently monitor the files for changes after they are uploaded. The media library is not designed to be edited directly after files are uploaded. This was done as part of a move towards enabling cloud-based file hosting. There are currently two works in progress to support filesystem imports and sync but neither of them have been finished as of the time of this writing. See [#111](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/pull/111) and [#514](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/pull/514). In addition LibreTime does not write metadata changes back to the files. See [#621](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/621)
