TIP 3- Filter Music from certain time periods

If you feel like getting down to some funky disco music from the 70's, there is a way you don't have to keep going back and forth selecting different music from the library, type 2 years into the search bar like this "1970..1979" and Windows Media will find music from just that period of time.
