Background audio file type and location

[Roy Dennis]

You can't copy a file directly from media player.
When you right click on a song in media player there is no copy option, you have to select "Open file location" then copy it from the folder that opens there.

Which version of Windows do you have ?
Also which version of media player do you have ?
You can find the version from the program Help about Windows media player.

Lets try a different approach to finding where you store your mp3 files.

First off media player 10 is an old version for windows 7 (12 is the latest)but what you need to find is the default folder where your music is stored, try this:

Open media player, if you have the menu displayed on the top line click on Tools then options then the "Rip Music" tab.
If you don't see a menu list at the top you may find a small downward pointing arrow bottom right, right clicking this should display a menu that you can select Tools from.
Then look for "Rip music to this location" and jot down the path displayed.
In my case it shows "C:\Documents And Settings\Roy Dennis\My Documents\My Music\MP3"

Now from the Brows button in Hoster follow the path that you noted from above then select from the list of folders that may be shown as album names, you may have folders in folders keep opening untill you see the actual mp3 files then choose select, it should then populate the lower window with the songs.

Alternatively create a folder solely for your BA songs.
If you right click on your desktop prior to doing the above and select New from the fly out then choose "Folder" it will create a new folder on your desk top which if you right click again will allow you to rename it to something you like. Then copy some of the mp3 files from the previous path you followed and paste into your new desktop folder.
Once you have a collection use the brows button in Hoster's BA player to Brows to the folder you just created.
