Script Question (find, rsync)

Hello all,

I'm using rsync to maintain two copies of a music library on my main workstation and a server running MPD. I'm wondering about using the script below as a basis for cron to update my MPD db if new files have been added or existing files modified:
Code:
find -type f -iname 'FILENAME' -mmin -10 -exec 'script' \;

Would it be ill advised to simply put ~/music/*.mp3 for FILENAME? with ~160GB of music in that dir?

Would I perhaps be able to use -type d to monitor the directory itself for changes? In which case, what denotes a change to the directory (ie, adding a file?)

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
