Listening to Music

You may have already copied and organized your music files on your hard drive. If so, you need to add them to the Windows Media Player Library to access them with the Media Center.

To add music files that are stored in your My Music or Shared Music folder on your hard drive:

1Click Start on the taskbar, and then click Windows Media Player.

2Select Search for Media Files from the Library tab’s Tools menu.

Sample Add to Library by Searching Computer screen

3Select an option from the Search on drop-down menu.

4Select Search to search all drives or select Browse to search through a specific drive.

5Click Search. Windows Media Player searches the selected drives for all supported audio files and adds them to the Media Library.

If Windows Media Player does not recognize all of your audio files, try copying the files directly into Windows Media Player. Refer to Windows Media Player Help for more information.
