In media player under under file tab click on add to library. there should bee some thing like search computer for media. Click on that. Designate where you want media player to search and that should be it. If you have WMP 11 then you have to click on advanced options after the Add to library tab. That will bring up a sys tree from which you can pick and choose what directories you want to scan. Now as far a if they are playable in Wmp that depends on the Codecs you have. As far as your MP3 play. What are you using a Ipod. I think you can go to the SYNC tab and if you Ipod is connected to you computer it should read it. If not try hitting the refresh tab under sync. If that dosent work Import all your music to I-tune (Which sucks sometimes because it likes to conver to that F'ed up media type only it can read) good luck let me know how you made out!
