# Working with the My Music Collection Folders

My Music is a window that includes two separate panes. The pane on the left is called My Music Collection, and the pane on the right is called Currently Listening To.

### My Music Collection

The My Music Collection pane is like a library of all the music you have in your CD collection, only it's organized in folders. The My Music window includes a Search For Music feature that searches your computer for your MP3 files and playlists and then creates a collection of your music in the My Music Collection folders.

| The My Music folders are organized first within an All Tracks folder. All the tracks in your My Music Collection appear alphabetically in the All folder. During the music search, folders are automatically created for each artist's name. In each artist's folder, you will find the albums by that artist. In each album's folder, you will find the individual tracks on that album. If FreeAmp is unable to determine how to organize your music (for example, the artist or album name is missing), the tracks are placed in the Uncategorized Tracks folder. You can edit the information for the tracks, so FreeAmp knows where to place it in your folders. The My Music Collection includes a My Playlists folder that contains any playlists that you have created on your computer. You can create a new playlist by clicking on the Create a New Playlist option in the folder.

FreeAmp can play tracks and you can create playlists from your audio CD. When you place an audio CD in your CD-ROM drive(s), FreeAmp adds the tracks the AudioCD folder. The tracks remain in the folder until you remove the audio CD. You can create playlists with tracks from your audio CD, however the audio CD must be in the CD-ROM drive for FreeAmp to play the song.

The Streams folder contains a Favorites folder to store streams you want to play when you are connected to the Internet. You can add a new stream to your Favorite folder by clicking on the Add a New Stream option in the folder and then entering the Stream name and URL. You can also add streams to your Favorites folder by right-clicking on any stream in your Streams folder and then selecting Add to Favorites from the drop-down menu.

You'll also see the Relatable Recommended Streams folder. This folder contains recommended streams that suit your musical preferences based on what you've been listening to with FreeAmp. Relatable-recommended streams are automatically generated for users who've created a profile under Options.

Use the My Music Collection area to manage and organize your music. When you are ready to play music, use the My Music Collection area to create or load a playlist in the Currently Listening To pane.

### Currently Listening To

The Currently Listening To pane is a list of tracks which are queued to be played. The tracks may include information, such as the artist or album name and the length of the track. FreeAmp allows you to make changes to the track information which is saved with the track in the My Music Collection pane.

The list of tracks queued in the Currently Listening To pane is a temporary list. When you make changes to its order or contents, you are not modifying a particular playlist. If you want to permanently save the changes you made, you need to save the playlist.
