Your device can access multiple media libraries; each library contains links to your audio files, video files, and playlists. You can view music files in a library by artist name, album title, or genre, and you can view video files by genre.
Each media library represents an available storage location in your device. For example, if you store some content in the device's internal memory, the My Device library contains links to those files. If you also store content on removable microSD storage cards, you will have an additional library for each card.
On the Library screen, you can switch between the My Device library and any other available libraries.
Windows Media Player Mobile automatically searches the internal memory of your device for compatible digital media files. If it finds any, it adds them to the My Device library.
Similarly, when you insert a removable storage card, Windows Media Player Mobile automatically searches it and adds any media files that it finds to a storage card library.
If the Player does not automatically detect new files that you have copied to your device, you can manually update the library using the Update Library control.
For best results when you are using Windows Media Player Mobile:
- Always use the computer version of Windows Media Player to synchronize (copy) files to your device. Do not use Windows Explorer to drag files from your computer to your device.
- Always synchronize files to a storage card that is inserted into your device, not to a storage card that is inserted into an external storage card reader. The Windows Media Digital Rights Management licenses of files that are synchronized to a storage card reader may not be copied correctly to the storage card. After you insert the storage card into your device, Windows Media Player Mobile will be unable to play files that do not have correct licenses. See the Overview of licenses and protected files topic for more information on Digital Rights Management.
