Scan disk for media
This feature searches local drives for supported media files. Once RealPlayer finds the files, the import wizard adds them to the Library. Note: The files found through this process are NOT automatically uploaded to the Cloud. Also, the files themselves are not stored in RealPlayer; RealPlayer simply maps to the file's location on your hard drive.
To open the import wizard, open RealPlayer and click the 
logo in the upper left corner and select File > Scan Disk For Media.
Customize the search with these selections from the "Scan Disk For Media" dialog:
