What's the difference between a Player Library and Windows Library? I am very confused.

Player Library and Windows Library are very different but also related.
Player Library:
- Created and managed by Windows Media Player 12.
- Contains links to media, like music and movie, folders.
- Has 5 Player Libraries: Music, Videos, Pictures, Recorded TV and Other Media
- Linked to default folders: C:\Users\userid\Music, C:\Users\userid\Videos, etc.
- Can link more folders in Player Libraries.
- Cannot create your own new Player Library.
Windows Library:
- Created and managed by Windows system.
- Contains links to any type of document, including music and movie, folders.
- Has 5 default Windows Libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, Podcasts, and Videos.
- Linked to default folders: C:\Users\userid\Documents, C:\Users\userid\Music, etc.
- Can link more folders in Windows Libraries.
- Can create your own new Windwos Library.
So if you link a music folder in the Windows Library "Music", it will not show up in the Player Library "Music".
You can blame Microsoft for this confusion.
