Why Create a Song Catalog?

If you use Windows Media Player to organize your digital music library, you may want to catalog its contents. Keeping a record of the songs you have can come in handy. For instance, you might want to check if you have a song before purchasing it (again). Or, you need to find the songs you have by a band or artist. It’s usually easier to use a text-based catalog than the search facility in WMP.

Select File > Open > Folder.

Choose the folder containing the music you wish to catalog and select OK.
