Section 2 - Library Setup

The MediaStar library is your collection of media files (audio and video) along with all of your PowerPoint applications. This section will show how to setup and maintain your library.



1. Adding Items

Adding items to the library is accomplished by selecting Import To Library from the File menu. This will bring up a dialog that will allow you to select the files you want to add to your library.

The files will be added under your current selection in the library. For example, if you have the Audio folder selected, every file will be placed within this folder. If you have a file selected, new files will be placed within the same folder. Lastly, by default if nothing is selected, files are placed within the root library folder.

Alternatively, you can always drag and drop files from another filder directly into MediaStar.

** Supported file extensions include: MP3, WAV, MPG, MPEG, DIVX, AVI and PPT.

** Your MediaStar library is stored under MyDocuments in the MediaStar folder.


2. Moving Items

Moving items within your library is very simple. Simply drag the item you want to move into the desired directory, or to a different item within the directory. To move items into the root of your library simply drop the item into the empty space below the last item or into and item that is already in the root of the library.


3. Deleting Items

The simples way to delete items from your library is to select them and press the delete button on the keyboard. A standard Windows prompt will appear to confirm the delete.


4. Right-Click Menu

When you right click on an item in the library a menu appears that is very similar to the standard windows right-click menu, and has similar functionality.


Open Adds a file to the playlist (same as a double-click).
Cut Standard windows cut.
Copy Standard windows copy.
Paste Standard windows paste.
Delete Standard windows delete.
Rename Standard windows rename.
Duplicate Creates a duplicate of the selected item.
New Folder Creates a new folder in the same folder as the selected item.
Properties Standard windows properties.
Advanced Opens the advanced settings window (media files only).
