Save Space on Your Hard Disk

Concerned about your hard disk space? Windows XP is designed to minimize the space on your hard disk taken up by audio recordings, and you can reduce the amount even more by choosing to save music at a slightly lower reproduction standard. It’ll still sound great but it won’t use up as much of your hard disk.

To set the level of recording quality

1. On the Tools menu in Windows Media Player, click Options.
2. On the Copy Music tab, move the sliding control to where you'd like it—to the left to use the least amount of your hard disk, to the right for best audio reproduction.
   
   
3. Click Apply.

You can quickly glance at all the media files on your computer using the Windows Media Player.

To view all media files

1. Click Start, and then click Windows Media Player.
2. Click Media Library.
3. Click All Audio in the Media Library directory.

You’ll see a list of audio recorded on your computer on the right side of the player. Double-click any file to play it. To delete any file, right-click it and then click Delete from Library.
