Zoom Player supports a powerful Media Library system.

To define categories, open the Media Library Category Editor (either through the right-click context menu under the "Open Interface" Sub-Menu, or by pressing Shift+"M").

The Media Library Editor is split into two sections. The category "Mode" (Audio,Video,Picture and Executable) section which allows you to specify the content type for the categories you're about to add and the category list with its directory listings (where the files are kept).

The first thing you want to do is select a Mode. If you're going to add a Video category, make sure the Video mode is selected. If you want to add an Audio category, make sure the Audio mode is selected.

With the mode selected, you should now create a new category. Simply click on the "Add" button and you will be prompted for a new category name (for example "TV Shows"). Once a category name is selected, you will be prompted for the initial directory where your content resides. Once the directory is selected, you will notice a new tab containing the new category name. If you have more of the same type of content spread through multiple locations on your system or network, you can click on the "Add Directory to Category" button to merge content from different locations into the same category.

With your categories set to your satisfaction, all you need to do is open the Media Library Navigator (Alt+"M" or click the "Open Navigator" button) and start browsing your content.

The Media Library is a closed system, a user can only browse through specific directories assigned to categories (for security reasons).
