Windows 8 Help!

So installed the Windows 8 Preview today, and I cannot figure out how to add music to My Collection in the music app.

• I have a 750GB Hard-Drive Split into two partions, one is C:\(175 GB) and the other is D:\ (500 GB). The C:\ drive contains all my operating system files, and the D:\ drive contains all my music and video games.
• All my music files are of the WAVE format.
• Upon launching the Music App in Windows 8, it says that nothing is in "Collection" and I cannot figure out how to get my music files to be added to it. I've tried everything from having my music files open with the App but that doesn't add them to the Collection, I've tried moving the files to the Music Library on the C:\ Drive, and to My Music, and I've searched all over the App to look for a way to add my files, and I cannot find anything.

Thanks in advance to any help!

Expecting a Beta launch of an Operating System to have no bugs or issues is an unrealistic and impossible expectation.

[QUOTE="CptJSparrow"][QUOTE="El3ctrosisV2"] Well considering this is not a finished version of Windows 8 there are bound to be problems. Were people expecting it to have no bugs or issues?DarkGamer007

Someone clue me up here. This preview version is free, right? Once Windows 8 rolls out, do you get to keep the preview version or...?

Preview Version is free, the "trial" will probably end when the full version rolls out.

The preview is free. When you download the iso there is the activation code on Microsoft's website to use when installing. I imagine when I does launch, to get the finished OS you'll have to buy it. DarkGamer007

In Windows Explorer, to go Libraries -> music. Then choose "manage libraries" from the ribbon bar and select your music disk.

There is a bug right now, music files must be in the "My Music" folder
