Chapter 24

Making Music with Media Player

IN THIS CHAPTER

Playing music with Media Player

Copying CDs to your PC

Using your Media Library

Creating your own music CDs

Copying songs to portable players

Using your computer to collect, manage, and play music is a lot of fun. You can build up a collection of all your favorite songs, make custom CDs from those songs, or copy them to a portable MP3 player. You can use your computer as a stereo to play any songs you like in any order you like. If your computer is part of a network, you can share songs and play them on any computer that’s in the network.

Windows 8 comes with two programs and one Windows 8 app for collecting and playing music. One program is Windows Media Player, which we discuss in this chapter. The other program is Media Center (not included with all editions of Windows 8). If you prefer to use Media Center, see Chapter 26, “Using Media Center.” To learn more about the Windows 8 Music app, read Chapter 37, “Adding and Managing Windows 8 Applications.”
