Navigate the Content View

 

Navigating the content view is easy and flexible. You always have a choice of how you want to manipulate your files. You can use hot-keys, pop-up menus, or drag and drop.

Select Multiple Files

To easily select all files in the content view, right click and choose "Select All" or press Ctrl-A. You can also select multiple items in the following ways:

Click on items while holding down the Ctrl key to add items to the selection one at a time.

Click on items while holding down the Shift key to select a range of items.

Click on a previously selected item to unselect it.

Click on an empty space in the Name field and drag the mouse over the files you want to select.

Right Click Pop-Up Menus

Selecting one or more items and right clicking will opens a context-sensitive pop-up menu which will provide you with a convenient list of actions to facilitate tasks.

Drag and Drop

You can drag and drop your files from the content pane to almost anywhere, including the tree, into a Playlist, Playing Now, the Send To bar, and Devices. You also drag and drop a file right onto the Player Window, to have that song play immediately.

With Media Center, you aren’t limited to dragging and dropping from just within the application. You can go to your music directory using Explorer, and drag files from there into the Player Window to play the file. If you have selected an artist or an album in the tree, you can drag a file into the content view and Media Center will automatically import that song into the folder you have selected.
