=== File mode ===
File mode is the most basic way of browing your music. In file mode, you browse through your sources folder by folder, in the exact same way they are stored. What you see in file mode is the same as you would see if you were to browse the folders on your computer.
 
===Library mode===
The library mode is much more advanced and has many more features than the Files View. It has features like song, album and artist info to name a few.
In order to utilize library mode, you first need to scan your music into the Music library using the [[#Contextual menu]].
 
== Searching your Library ==
The search button is available on the left side of the '[[Music]]' window, and is also available in the root listing of your music library. Select it to begin your search. A keyboard will pop-up where you may enter search terms (SMS style with the remote, or just using the virtual keyboard). As you enter more letters, the search will be performed in the background, and results displayed in the search node of the music library. Previous searches are saved, so if you return to the search node later on, it will have the results of your previous search. Artists and Albums are shown on top, followed by matching songs. If the search string you enter is less than 3 characters, XBMC will just search in the first word of each artist/album/song. Otherwise it will do a full word search. '''NOTE: In order to search within words as well as just for words beginning with your search string, place a % sign in front of the match.'''


== Party Mode ==
|- class="userrow"
The Party Mode option allows you to randomly play music from your entire music or [[Music Videos|music video]] collection based on criteria specified in [[PartyMode.xsp]]. Simply build a
| class="usercell" | System.Freespace(DRIVE)
[[Playlists#Smart Playlists|Smart Playlist]] and save it as '''partymode.xsp''' in [[The UserData Folder]].
| class="usercell" | Freespace on drive DRIVE. DRIVE can be C, E, F, G, X, Y or Z


Selecting 'Party Mode' from the sidebar will play ALL valid media scanned into your libraries in a random order that meet the conditions specified in the Smart Playlist.
|- class="userrow"
| class="usercell" | system.usedspace(DRIVE)
| class="usercell" | Usedspace on drive DRIVE. DRIVE can be C, E, F, G, X, Y or Z


=== Frodo ===
|- class="userrow"
The Party Mode option allows you to randomly play music from your entire music or [[Music Videos|music video]] collection based on criteria specified in [[PartyMode.xsp]]. Simply edited the "[[Playlists#Smart Playlists|Party mode playlist]]" item in the Playlist menu. Bring up the [[Music_library#Context_Menu|context menu]] and select "Play in party mode". You can do this for any valid playlist.
| class="usercell" | system.totalspace(DRIVE)
| class="usercell" | Totalspace on drive DRIVE. DRIVE can be C, E, F, or G


== Context Menu ==
|- class="userrow"
In the default configuration you pop up the Context Menu using the 'C' key on your keyboard. If you are navigating XBMC using a remote control, the default button is, for some releases, the 'title' button.  If your remote control has no 'title' button then you may need to [[HOW-TO:Modify keyboard.xml|remap]] the ContextMenu action to another button.
| class="usercell" | System.UsedspacePercent(DRIVE)
| class="usercell" | Usedspace Percent on drive DRIVE. DRIVE can be C, E, F, or G


===File mode===
|- class="userrow"
The context menu allows you to interact with the individual media items. The following options are available whilst in [[Music#Files View|File Mode]], selecting an album:
