The media files themselves are not contained in the database, but cataloged within the libraries. Version 1. 2 of JRiver Media Center added support for auto- importing of media, whereby JRiver Media Center continually watches designated directories for changes in media. If a new file is dropped into the directory, JRiver Media Center will add the file to its library. Each library can contain any type of media, video, audio, images etc. View schemes. Views can be created which help users see different parts of their library; these are effectively the same as database views. They are based on using metadata as criterion for creating a filtered list of files.
The view system is very powerful and fully customizable. For example, a view could be made which shows only audio files in MP3 format which are longer than 3 minutes, or images taken in Africa in the year 2. For ease of use, several default views exist which show files of a specified type only, including: audio, images, or video.

Once a view is created, it is automatically saved in the library and can be opened in the various user interfaces, and searched using a real- time search box. The searches are very customizable, possible on any field or tag in the library.

Smartlists can be based on Playlists. They are defined using an expression language. Media Center provides a wizard style dialogue box to simplify creating these. An added benefit of a smartlist over a standard playlist is that a smartlist is dynamic; it will update itself whenenever new files that meet its criteria are added to the library.
For example, one could create a smartlist to show all tracks with the genre tagged as Indie Rock. If a new album were added to Media Center's library that had the Indie Rock genre tag, Media Center would automatically add those files to the smartlist. User interfaces.
