media music

I am having trouble getting any other music to play if it isn't coming hot off of the cd player or thru the media players own music. but can't get the player to accept any songs I have copyed to my hard-drive ,. drop and drag doesn't drag or drop. Am I missing something or is this player so properitary I can only play what it wants me to hear or buy. -- jopa

What ARE you to play, and where is it located?

I had saved the music in a public file on the hard drive. But I couldn't get the media player to even give me the choice of adding them to a play list or playing . I put a cd in and it opens and plays.And I can copy the cd music and can put it any where but into a file that the player will download from. It does keep asking me if I want to go online and download from their offers. Any Idea -- jopa

What sort of music file/format?
How was the file added to the library? Is it in a folder monitored by the library?

I have saved it as audio file and it is on a monitored folder added manually. But It doesn't show up on the file search for a playlist It shows finding 200 hits and downloads 70 still trying but like everything else I get a error message when I try to play the song or answer to this forum but apperently the message is getting thru because of so many post I have -- jopa

You have said it's an audio file, but is it MP3, WMA, ... or perhaps something that WMP doesn't support??
Don't use the horrible web interface to this forum. Configure a newsreader like Outlook Express to access these newsgroups.

Mike, what is the server for these news groups?
