<title>Library Source</title>
645
The Library is the main source available in the
646
<application>Rhythmbox Music Player</application>, it is the
647
database that contains all the music files that you import in the
648
<application>Rhythmbox Music Player</application> (The Library stores the path to access
649
your music files, not the files themself).
652
The Library can not only contains music files which are physically
653
on your computer (in your HOME Directory for instance), but it can
654
also contains music files available over remote network services.

Some examples of supported network services are :
658
<para>Public FTP</para>
661
<para>Authenticated FTP</para>
667
<para>Windows Share</para>
672
The files imported in the Library are displayed in the track list
673
with the information (like the Artist name or the Album name) stored
674
in the tags embedded on the tracks. <application>Rhythmbox Music Player</application> uses
675
these tags to display the tracks in an organized manner.
677
<para>Tags can be modified by choosing <menuchoice><guimenu>
