# Browsing the media library

From the media library view you can browse the entire contents of your media library and play or queue up media items. To open the media library view tap the Library softkey on the main control screen or Menu > Library from any other screen.

To navigate the media library tap on the name of an item you want to view. For example, if you tap on "Artists" the media library will update to display all artists within your library. You can then tap on the name of a particular artist to view all of the albums available for that artist. Using this approach you can drill down to a particular media item or group that you wish to interact with.

To go back up a level within the media library tap the back arrow or click on the name of the media library's current location. This will display a drop-down menu from which you can view and select any higher level location with the media library tree.

You can also navigate the media library using the hardware navigation buttons on your Pocket PC. Use the up and down buttons to scroll through the list of available items and press the right or action button to navigate into a group. Pressing the left arrow will act as the back button, returning to the previous page. To make the context menu for an item appear select the item using the navigation buttons then press and hold the action or center button until the pop-up menu appears.
