Creating Your Music Library Using Windows Media Player

Each time you add music files outside of Windows Media
Player, you must use the Tools menu to add music files to
your Windows Media Player Library for Media Center to find
them.
To add music files:
1 Click Start on the taskbar, and then click Windows
Media Player.
2 Click the Media Library tab on the side of the window.
The first time you select Media Library, a message tells
you that Windows Media Player needs to search your
computer for your music files.
3 Click Yes. Windows Media Player searches for all
available audio media and places them in the Media
Library.
4 To add files from a CD to your Media Library, insert the
CD, select Copy from CD, and then select Copy Music
in the toolbar. You can select to copy your music files as
MPEG Audio Layer 3 (.mp3) or Windows Media Audio
(.wma) files.
5 Click the Media Library tab to see where your new
audio files have been placed. You can rename files by
selecting the file and typing a new name or genre over the
old one. The way you label your music files determines
the category in which they are placed.
Your added music files can now be found and played back
using My Music in Media Center.You may need to close and
open Media Center for the added music files to appear in My
Music.
For more information about adding music files to the Media
Library, use the Windows Media Player Help menu.
