Adding Music from Your Hard Drive to Windows Media Player Library
You can place all your music files into the My Music folder
or into other folders on your hard drive, however, you need to
add those files to the Windows Media Player Library for
Media Center to be able to find and play them.
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.
2Move the mouse to view the Windows Media Player
toolbar, and then click Tool s.
3Select Search for Media Files.
4Select Search to search all drives or select Browse to
search through a specific drive.
5Select the desired drive and then click OK. 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.
Your music files can now be found and played in My Music
window in the Media Center. You may need to close and open
Media Center for the added music files to appear in My
Music.
