Getting to Know the Windows ® XP Media Center Edition
Listening to Music
Playing Digital Music Files
When you first open the Media Center and open the My
Music window, you may not find any music files listed unless
there is a music CD in your CD drive or unless you have
already added audio files to your Windows Media Player
Library.
If you do not have any music files listed, you need to add
music files to the Windows Media Player Library, and then
restart Media Center to play your music files in Media
Center.
When you copy music files using Windows Media Player and
your computer is connected to the Internet, the CD
information is copied and displayed in Media Center and in
the Windows Media Player Library.
To play a music CD using Media Center:
1
If you insert a CD when Media Center is not open, a
message appears asking what you want to do. You can
select
Windows Media Player
as your default audio
player. If you have another program set as the default
audio player, Windows opens this program and begins
playing the CD.
2
Press the
Start
button on the remote control.
3
Insert a CD into the CD drive — the CD plays
automatically in Media Center. If you have other media
such as live TV already playing when you insert the CD,
Media Center asks you if you want to play the CD. Select
Yes
to begin playing the CD.
Media Center cannot be used to record music files. Use
Windows Media Player to record music files.
