[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 783580, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome Charlie :) If you have a satellite tuner connected to the laptop then yes. Basically the idea is to simply add the folders where your media "lives" to the folder lists in the appropriate sections (music, videos, pictures). As an example, the wiki info for music folders is -->[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/3_Music/1_Music_Folders"]here[/URL]<--. I copy them to ISO. There are various ways to do that - personally I use CloneDVD, but there are probably free options too. Once in ISO form, you can use Daemon Tools or Virtual Clone Drive to mount the ISO and view it in MP. MP has integration with both DT and VCD as described in out wiki -->[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/11_General/19_Virtual_Drive"]here[/URL]<--. So that is one way to do it... As mentioned above, add the folders to MP's music folder list, then go through the [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/3_Music/2_Music_Database"]music database section[/URL] to import the metadata. mm [Edit: looks like Peter2 beat me to it :)] [/QUOTE]
