	For ~~XBMC~~ to access and play your media, you first need to tell ~~XBMC~~ where your media is located. This is done by adding a '''Media Source'''. ~~XBMC~~ includes out-of-the-box support for all the typical things found in a home where media consumption has moved on from turning on the telly and blindly channel surfing, e.g.. playing DVDs, playing backups of DVDs, watching Movies, TV Shows, Videos, showing Pictures to friends and of course playing Music.

	For each '''Media Source''', ~~XBMC~~ needs to know what sort of content it contains, e.g.. does it contain '''Movies''', '''TV Shows''', '''General Videos''', '''Music''' or '''Pictures'''. ~~XBMC~~ needs to know the type of content because it will scan the media source to get more information about each item from various locations on the internet. For example, for '''Movies''', ~~XBMC~~ will connect to IMDB to obtain the plot information, actors, director etc. and the associated image (typically a DVD cover image) that is used in the great views that ~~XBMC~~ provides for navigating your media. ~~XBMC~~ is smart but it isn't magical so you need to make sure that the files contained in your media sources are sensibly named and preferably adhere to the ~~XBMC~~ file naming best practices. For power users out there, you can configure ~~XBMC~~ to understand whatever file naming conventions you have already used, but you might need to create some RegEx expressions to help ~~XBMC~~ out.

	Once the Media Source has been created, ~~XBMC~~ will scan the media source and obtain the additional information from the internet and put all that information into the ~~XBMC~~ '''Media Library'''. ~~XBMC~~ will let you know if it wasn't able to find any information for any of the items so you can rename the file to help ~~XBMC~~ out more, or so you can add the item to the '''Media Library''' manually.
