Searching for Music on Your Computer

The FreeAmp Music Browser searches your computer for your MP3 files, streams, and playlists (.m3u or .pls files), and then creates a collection of your music in one place, automatically!

When you download music from EMusic.com or any other Web site that supports RMP files, the Music Browser automatically adds your new music to your collection, so you can easily find it.

The Music Browser also provides a way for you to create and modify Playlists, which are custom collections of music you want to play.

1.     From the FreeAmp main window, click the My Music button.

2.     From the Music Browser, select File, then Search for Music.
