Managing Photos with Media Player

In Chapter 23, “Working with Pictures,” you discovered ways to acquire and manage photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery. There’s no need to bring that information into Media Player, but you can if you want to. For example, if you have a portable media device that displays pictures, you might want to bring the photos into Media Player so you can sync music and video files.

To view photos in Media Player, the photos need to be in a folder that’s monitored by Media Player. Or, you’ll need to add that folder to your list of monitored folders. By default, the Pictures library appears in Media Player’s Navigation pane but without any options such as Tags or Date Taken. You can add those options by clicking the Organize button in Windows Media Player and choosing Customize Navigation Pane. Scroll down to find Pictures in the list and select the desired options.

To view photos in Media Player, click Pictures in the Navigation pane. Figure 25.7 shows an example where we’re viewing photos by Date Taken. Each stack represents a group of photos.
