Storing Audio

Using your computer as an audio jukebox is a very popular
application. This allows you to store and play thousands of your
favorite songs. You can also create and manage an audio library
on your Maxtor Personal Storage 5000 drive. A popular web
site to learn more about these audio applications is at http://
www.mp3.com.
To use your drive to store your audio library, you need to
specify a folder on the drive as the default location for audio
files in your audio jukebox software.
