Chapter 8: Mastering Digital Pictures and Music

This chapter taught a lot about using the Windows Live applications, Photo Gallery and Media Player. It went into detail about all of the features these applications can use, as well as how they can be used with outside sources. Many people like myself will find good music or have pictures they would like to share with others. Over time, this may become a little cluttered and hard to find and locate exact pictures and videos. Photo Gallery makes it very easy to find those by tagging them. Then I can edit them by changing the colors, trimming and copping to the right size, and adding small effects to make the picture appear better. In Media Player, I can go through and listen to all my songs that I have downloaded. Not only that, but I can also stream online which makes it very convenient. The best feature in my opinion is the option to burn and rip songs and files off of CD's. Many times I was given a CD from a friend because it had music that I enjoyed, so being able to rip those off and saving them for my own is really nice. Sharing is caring when it comes to ripping/burning CD's.
