We have a brand new ACER with Vista premium.
I added my NDAS network drive to the list of files to search.
The machine recognizes files on the NDAS drive after hours of trying to get
that set up. When I used the add to library function it searched all of the
folders and I could see them display in the status window. I also added the
few WAV files on that drive to the library but it ignored all of the MP3s.
When I ripped a couple of CDs to the local drive it allowed me to rip them as
MP3s and added them to the library. I have no plans to rerip hundreds of CDs.
In music match there is an option inthe search menu to id the types of files
included in the search but I could not find an equivalent in windows media
player.
