Wrap-Up
This chapter looked at the Windows Media Player main music capabilities, but all of its capabilities haven’t been covered yet. In the next chapter, you learn about using Windows 8 with DVDs and videos. If you have an edition of Windows 8 that includes Media Center, you can also use Media Center to play songs from your media library. See Chapter 26 for the goods on Media Center. The following points were covered in this chapter:
- Controlling sound volume on your computer is a necessary first step to playing music.
- The Features taskbar along the top of Media Player’s program window provides easy access to all of Media Player’s main components.
- The Now Playing mode can show a visualization of music that’s playing or the visual content of the playing video or DVD.
- The Navigation pane gives you access to all songs and other media you’ve downloaded or copied from CDs.
- You can rip (copy) songs from music CDs to your media library.
- You can burn your own custom music CDs.
- You can sync (copy) music to portable media devices.
