What is the PC Music Library?

MediaSource. In Creative MediaSource, you can have more than one PC 
Music Library. When sharing the same computer, multiple users can each 
have their own music library, each with  its own settings. However, only one 
music library can be active at one time.

Yes. You can use Creative MediaSource’ s Media Sniffer tool to monitor or 
watch folders in your computer. With  Media Sniffer enabled, the PC Music 
Library is updated when tracks in monitored folders are added, deleted o\
