Introduction
In this article we are explaining how to add a media file to an application library in Windows 8; a media file such as Audio, Video or Image. To play a media file using Metro apps we have to import the media file into the Metro application library. If we want to play a media file using the Metro media player without importing the library then an error message is shown; it is: "One more this is once it is close and start next time, the application didn't work.". Because it does not find the media file in the application library.
