Can you please tell me how to save or store sample audio and vidio into mediaLibrary.From my application if i long press on a picture i get a save picture option that saves the picture under saved pictures category in MediaLibrary. Similarly how do i save a mp3 and mp4 file.

I am able to downloadcontent and play the audio on emulator directly but not able to save any mp3 file from the web onto the MediaLibrary. Is there any other way to add songs to MediaLibrary?

Please Help me.

Thanks

The Windows Phone 7 API does not allow saving audio and video to the Media library, only on the isolated storage of the application itself.

This is in contrast to Pictures, which like you said you can save to the Media library.
