Any recs for fully-hands-off/automatic media organizer software for Windows? (Paid is fine)

I've got an old Buffalo LS220D lying around. I figure I can dust it off and use it as a local storage box. My current storage is on older USB hard disks and such.

If I wipe the Buffalo and start fresh, though, I'd like to just be able to set-and-forget media - just have it monitor a folder for new media, then copy it to the LS220D in a logical folder structure of some form. Something easy to present to a Kodi box locally via DLNA.

Is there an application that'll do the watch/move/organize without any input from me? I'd like to be able to organize pretty much any category of media - anime, TV shows, movies, music, and if possible, ebooks. The application can run on my regular Windows desktop and write to the Buffalo as an SMB share.

If it truly does everything intelligently and without intervention from me, I don't mind coughing up a few bucks for a paid solution. The key here is hands-off: I don't want to have to write any scripts, regexes, or code. It doesn't have to do anything other than organize media - I have backups all sorted already. I'd rather throw money at the problem rather than free time.

That said, any suggestions for programs to help build my data hoard?
