Import Media Files

If you have existing media files on your hard drive, even music you saved using another program, RealPlayer makes it simple for you to import those files to My Library. You can import any supported media formats as well as playlists from products other than RealPlayer.

Importing files into RealPlayer does not change the location of the files on your hard drive. RealPlayer simply creates a shortcut to the file through My Library. (See Media Clips for details.)

Import All Media Files

1. Open File > Scan Disk For Media... from the Menu bar.
2. The "Scan Disk for Media" dialog opens. Select All Drives and Include subfolders. Click Next to continue.
3. All file types are chosen by default. You can deselect any or all types. Click Next.
   
   RealPlayer will search all of your hard drives for available media files and import them into My Library.
4. When RealPlayer has finished importing clips, click Finish to close the dialog.

Import Selected Files

1. Open File > Add Files To My Library... from the Menu bar.
