Tools in Windows Media Player allow you to control content on the player, such as downloads, media information changes, plugins and options. Options give you access to program your media player for your needs, including setting automatic updates to let you know about advances in content, ripping music, controlling security, connecting devices such as speakers, and deciding privacy, burning, network, player, performance and library issues.

Tools on Windows Media Player

The tools option is available on the menu bar, but by default it is not shown in Windows Media Player. You need to go to the player library to start the process. When you reach the player library section, locate the “Organize” icon and search for “Layout.” From “Layout,” click on “Show Menu Bar.” That’s all there is to it.

With tools you can customize your media player to perform in a way that works for you. You can add, delete or change information and control all the data that is included in your media players’ library.
