Anytime you&#039;re using MediaMonkey and need Help with the feature you&#039;re using you can press F1 to open the corresponding Help page in your default browser. If the Help doesn&#039;t answer your question you can ask it on our [https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/ Forum].<br /> <br /> <br /> == Adding Files to the Library ==<br /> <br /> The first time you run the application, you&#039;ll be prompted to select which locations (on your local drives, external drives or on the network locations) to scan for Media Files. Any files found in these locations will be added to the Library. Before running your first scan for files you may want to adjust the settings as to how MediaMonkey scans your files.<br /> <br /> See: [[{{WebHelp:Links|Adding Existing Files to the Library}}|Adding Files and Folders to the Library]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Playing Tracks from the Library ==<br /> <br /> Once your files have been added to the Library, navigate your way through your [[WebHelp:Playback Rules/4.0|Collections]] by clicking different nodes in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Library&#039;&#039;&#039; portion of the tree in the MediaMonkey Explorer. The File List will update to match the selected node. <br /> <br /> To play a Media File, simply double-click it in the File List. That Media File will begin playing, followed by Media Files that were listed subsequent to it (in the default [[WebHelp:Playback Rules/4.0|player configuration]]). To play specific Media Files, select several and then click the &#039;&#039;&#039;Play Now&#039;&#039;&#039; button on the toolbar. For other functions, right-click to see the context menu. <br /> <br /> See: [[{{WebHelp:Links|Exploring Tracks}}|Browse the Library]], [[{{WebHelp:Links|Playing Audio Tracks}}|Playing Files]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Editing Tags ==<br /> <br /> To edit the properties associated with a File, right-click on the selected File and choose &#039;&#039;&#039;Edit Properties&#039;&#039;&#039; . Make your changes, and click &#039;Ok&#039; to update the Tag. If you&#039;re missing information or Album Art, right click on the track and choose &#039;&#039;&#039;Auto-Tag from Web&#039;&#039;&#039;. <br /> <br /> As with other commands, if you select multiple Files and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Edit Properties&#039;&#039;&#039; , the command will apply to all of the selected Tracks. <br /> <br /> See: [[{{WebHelp:Links|Editing Track Properties}}|Editing File Properties]], [[{{WebHelp:Links|Getting Track Information from the Internet}}|Auto-Tag]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Customizing the Application ==<br /> <br /> Once you&#039;ve played a few Files, you&#039;ll probably want to spend a bit of time customizing the application to suit your tastes. Try: <br /> <br /> *Right-clicking on any of the column headings to add/remove columns that you&#039;ll be using regularly. <br /> *Drag and dropping the various column headings to change their position. <br /> *Clicking the &#039;&#039;&#039;Tools&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;Options&#039;&#039;&#039; menu to customize skins and other options.<br /> <br /> See: [[{{WebHelp:Links|Customizing MediaMonkey}}|Customizing MediaMonkey]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Accomplishing other Basic Tasks ==<br /> <br /> *[[{{WebHelp:Links|Ripping Tracks from CDs}}|Rip (Copy) a CD to your hard drive]]<br /> *[[{{WebHelp:Links|Using%20Playlists}}|Create Playlists]]<br /> *[[{{WebHelp:Links|Exporting%20Tracks}}|Sync Media Files to a Portable Device]]<br /> *[[{{WebHelp:Links|Volume%20Leveling}}|Level Volume]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Previous:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[{{WebHelp:Links|Introduction}}|Introduction]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Next:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[{{WebHelp:Links|Installation}}|Installing MediaMonkey]]<br /> ----<br /> <br /> {{WebHelpFooter}}</div>
