Albums are the containers in Media Gallery that hold your media items. Albums can also hold other albums, called sub-albums. Each album has a unique set of properties that control how it looks and also how it will handle various media objects. To create a new sub-album in your main album use the Create Album option from the pull down menu. You will give the album a Title and Description.

The album configuration will control many aspects of how Media Gallery will work. The album configuration will control who can view the album, what type of media it can hold, who can upload to it, how the media will be presented and what features and functions will be available. Understanding all the different configuration options is very important since they play a very important role in the overall media presentation.
