Creating Your Music Library Using Windows Media Player

your Windows Media Player Library for Media Center to find
them.
To add music files:

Player.

Click the Media Library tab on the side of the window.
The first time you select Media Library, a message tells
you that Windows Media Player needs to search your
computer for your music files.

available audio media and places them in the Media
Library.

To add files from a CD to your Media Library, insert the
CD, select Copy from CD, and then select Copy Music in
the toolbar. You can select to copy your music files as
MP3 files or as Windows Media Audio files (.wma).
