Building Your Media Library

6. To stop monitoring a folder that was added automatically, select the folder in

the Monitored Folders list and then click Ignore. Ignoring the folder tells Win-

dows Media Player to stop monitoring the folder.

7. If you’ve stopped monitoring folders or deleted files on the disk, the related

media will still be displayed in Windows Media Player. To stop displaying files

you’ve deleted or files that are in folders you are no longer monitoring, clear the

“Add files previously deleted from library” checkbox.

8. By default, audio files smaller than 100 KB and video files smaller than 500 KB

are not added to your media library. If desired, you can set different default val-

ues using the “Skip files smaller than” text boxes. To ensure that all audio and

video files in monitored folders are added to the library, set the “Audio files” and

“Video files” text boxes to zero.

9. When you click OK, Windows Media Player will search your computer and add

or remove media as appropriate. In the Add to Library by Searching Computer

dialog box, you’ll see a report of the files found in monitored folders and the files

added, as shown in Figure 8-26.

Only the number of files listed as added is added to the library. If Win-

dows Media Player has files in its library already, you’ll see more files

found than added.

Adding Media to Your Library When Played

By default, when you play an audio or video file on your computer or on the Inter-

net, Windows Media Player adds the audio or video file to your library. Windows

Media Player does not add audio or video that you play from removable storage

devices or from shared network folders.
