The library
The library contains links to your playlists and audio or video files. You can sort content
by criteria such as artist name, album title or genre. By default, Windows Media Player 10
Mobile automatically searches your device for compatible digital media files and adds
them to the My Device library. Similarly, when you insert a storage card into your device,
Windows Media Player 10 Mobile automatically detects the files and adds them to the
Storage Card library.
To update the library:
If the Player does not detect new files that you copy to your device, you can manually
update the library.
1 Tap > Windows Media .
2Tap Menu > Update Library.
3 Wait for files to be added, then tap Done.
The playlist
A playlist is a customized list of digital media files that you want to watch or listen to.
Using a playlist lets you group various digital media files together and specify the order
you want the files to play in. You can also use playlists to copy files to your computer.
You can create a playlist based on:
•Source - For example, tracks from various CDs of your favorite artist or
streaming media from an online music site.
•Personal preferences - For example, a playlist of tracks belonging to your
favored music genre or video clips from your funny movie collection.
•Mood or activities - For example, a playlist of tracks you want to listen while
travelling or during your R&R periods.
The Player has two default playlists:
•Local Content - Consists of all compatible audio and video files stored on
your device and/or storage card.
•Web Favorites - Consists of your favorite streaming media files. This playlist
is empty until you add items to it.
