Adding Tracks
You can access the Steam Music settings by selecting Steam > Settings and clicking on the Music tab.



If you've not setup your library yet select the "Add" button beneath the Music Library section.

The Library setup screen will allow you to specify which folders you want Steam to scan for music in.




You're able to add as many folders as you like. You can remove an existing folder by selecting the "Remove" button from the settings screen with the folder path highlighted.



Once you've made your selections Steam will begin to scan your selected folders for music. When it's done your songs will be available for you to listen to by selecting Library > Music from the Steam client.
Playing Music
You can make a track selection by visiting your music library.

If you've chosen an album you'll see a list of every song in it. You can select the "Play Album" button at the top to play the album in sequence.


You can also create a queue to play a song straight after another even if they are not part of the same album. This can be done by selecting Add to Queue with a song highlighted.




You can access your music player at any time while in a game by opening the Steam overlay and navigating to the Music module.

The music player gives you a set of standard options such as next, repeat, volume, etc.

Let me just say that this piece of *** was driving me nuts for past few days, where music just starts randomly playing for whatewer reason, and I was not able to find where it was coming from... Only yesterday I have found out this <s>great new awesome</s> function... I was only able to disable it by removing all folders it had stored in settings. Whoever came with the idea of autoplay music without any menas to disable this aberrant behaviour needs to be taken in front of Valve HQ and shot. God I am so pissed. GET ME AN OPTION TO DIABLE THIS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Where is the music library info stored? I changed harddrives and it's all messed up for me. I managed to edit some of the local files to still play and find the individual music files, but due to the music library list listing the wrong harddrives, it can't show me the albums themselves or their correct names.

People, if you are searching for the Library/Music, it only appears like this when you enter the player. To access the music player go to View/Music Player.
