<p>To query the default system paths used for storing different types of media files, use the Platform Environment API.</p>

<p>To manage images, video clips, audio files, music tracks, and streaming links (URLs) stored in the device memory or on the memory card, use the S60 Media Gallery application. For information on how to use the application, see <xref scope="external" href="http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/CS000828_-_Launching_Media_Gallery_from_another_application">Launching Media Gallery from another application</xref> on Forum Nokia. The Media Gallery includes the following embedded applications:</p>

<li><p>Image Viewer for viewing images</p></li>

<li><p>Media Player for playing video clips and streaming media</p></li>

<li><p>Music Player for playing audio files</p></li>
