Playing My Music
You can play music CDs with Windows XP Media Center’s My Music. After you’ve added your CD collection to the Media Player’s Media Library, you’ll have a variety of music to listen to directly from your Family Media Center. You can play individual songs, CDs (albums), shuffle play, and customize your music files for special occasions with a personalized music playlist. After you’ve tailored music files with the Media Library, sit back and enjoy listening to your favorite music.
