Media Manager
=============
Once you get your system set up for OpenLP you will be ready to add content to
your setup. This will all happen through the **Media Manager**. The
`Media Manager` contains all the bibles, songs, presentations, media, and
everything else that you will project through OpenLP.
Enabling the Plugins
--------------------
You may need to enable the plugins that came with OpenLP. As you can see below
this is what the `Media Manager` looks like with all the plugins enabled.

To enable the plugins navigate to :menuselection:`Settings --> Plugins` or
press `F7`. You will then want to click on the plugin to the left that you want
to enable and select **active** from the drop down box to the right.

Songs Plugin
============
The `Songs Plugin` is where you access your database of songs. From here you
can also edit songs, add new songs, and even convert songs from other formats.
