Adding Files to the Media Library

To add files to the Media Library

1. If the Media Library isn't open, open the View menu located in the Winamp main window and click Library or by pressing ALT+L on your keyboard.

2. Open the File menu in the Media Library and click Add Media to Library.
   The Add Media to Library window appears.
   (Note, also accessible by clicking the "Library" button)

3. Select the folder that contains the media files you wish to add.
   Note: Winamp will scan the folder and all its sub folders for supported media files. You should scan a specific folder (C:\My Music) rather than your entire hard drive (i.e. C:\) to shorten the time it takes for Winamp to scan for files.

4. Click OK to confirm your choice.

Tip:

• To add single files to the Library, right-click items in the Playlist Editor window,
  and select: Send To  ->  Add To Local Media.
