[QUOTE="charliek, post: 783568, member: 115282"] Hello folks! I've recently upgraded my laptop, and decided to dedicate the old one to playing music and films on the telly (I used to use it for that a fair bit, anyway, just using VLC Media Player). So I have done a fresh re-install of Win7 x64, and installed MP 1.1.3 - it all seemed very slick and easy! The Wiki seems very complete too. * I'm not using any TV features as yet. Is there a way to run free-to-view satellite through MP on a laptop? Maybe I'm being dim, but one useful chapter in the Wiki that I *didn't* find would be "now everything is set up, how best to import my media?" * I have various DVDs that I'd like to rip and store on the HDD to catalogue in MP. How best do I do that? What would the ideal tools and workflow be? * I have a substantial collection of music in MP3 format, currently in iTunes (but I manage the file structure), ratings, album art and and several playlists. How best to copy that over to MP? Sorry if this is too n00b for words, but so far I've not managed to find answers by searching... Cheers Charlie [/QUOTE]
