Songs added to iTunes are added to the library by default. You can create a New Smart Playlist from the iTunes File menu. Amongst the many options you can set it to list all Recently Added songs. If you want to add songs from a folder outside of iTunes you will need to create an Automator and/or AppleScript (See links below) that watches the folder and tells iTunes when new songs need to be added.
