Windows Media Player 11 SDK Working with the Library 

Working with the Library

The library is a database of information about the media content that is stored on the user's computer or has been played there. Some of the information is displayed in the library feature in Windows Media Player. A larger set of information can be accessed programmatically.

Media items can be organized in playlists. Playlists can be created by users or through code. The Windows Media Player object model provides objects and methods you can use to manipulate both individual media items and playlists.

The following sections explain techniques for working with the library:

• Library Access
• Managing Media Items
• Media Item Attributes
• Managing Playlists
