Stop automatic import of new audio files into Windows Media Player when I open the program.
When I first open Windows Media Player, how do I prevent it from automatically importing any new audio files I have added to my computer. I would prefer to manage this manually.
Does it get import when you play the songs, or as soon as you open Windows Media Player?
The Player automatically adds files from your computer to the Player Library when you play them. If you want to play media files without adding
them to the Player Library, then you can easily turn off the feature. You can also choose to automatically add remote media files (files stored on other computers on your network) to your Player Library when you play them.
1.Click the
Start button, click All Programs, and then click
Windows Media Player.
If the Player is currently open and you’re in Now Playing mode, click the
Switch to Library button in the upper-right corner of the Player.
2.In the Player Library, click
Organize, click Options, and then click the
Player tab.
3.Do one or more of the following:
·To prevent media files on your computer from being added to your Player Library when you play them, clear the
Add local media files to library when played check box, and then click
OK.
·To automatically add remote media files to your Player Library when you play them, select the
Add remote media files to library when played check box, and then click
OK.
