The Windows Phone 8.1 SDK allows you to use a folder on your dev machine to simulate an SD card for the emulator. If you put a bunch of media files in that folder before "inserting" it into the emulator, they will get picked up and added to the appropriate libraries.

Note that it can take a few seconds for media indexer to wake up and go through the content but you can easily check on its progress in the appropriate built-in app (eg. Music or Photos).

You can find this feature in the emulator's Additional Tools window:

Is there any other way other than programmatic to add files to the emulators file system. Like we really do on the phones so that it will be available in the library. – John S John May 28 '14 at 08:15
