Managing your media files

Working with My Media

Note Media Manager cannot find files that are renamed, moved,

or deleted within Windows Explorer. If you disconnect or remove

a storage device, such as a CD or DVD disc, files on the device

will not be found.

For information on locating missing files, see Finding missing

media files on page 58.

Browsing My Media

In the My Media view, you can browse the following groupings:

All Media

This Smart View shows you all media files detected by Media Manager. Use

this view to search for files if you are not sure which views they belong to, or

if you want to browse all of your media files.

All Photos

This Smart View allows you to browse your photos. Photos are further

grouped by date, keyword, and rating, and you can see which photos have

been recently imported or used, or have not yet been backed up.

All Videos

This Smart View allows you to browse your video files. It provides views for

recently used and imported video files, and organizes your videos by

format. In addition, a Not Protected view shows the video files that do not

have Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions.

All Music

This Smart View allows you to browse your audio files quickly and easily. It

contains views common to all media types, such as date, keyword, rating,

and backup status, as well as music-specific views, such as album, artist,

and genre. In addition, a Not Protected view shows the music files that do

not have Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions.
