How to Add files to Windows 8 Apps library to work permanently

In Windows 8, I have found an interesting tip to access Music and Video apps under metro screen environment. After a successful review of Windows 8 apps when I import various media files (video and mp3 into apps library they begin to play.

But, without importing these files to apps library if I attempted to play audio or video through music or video apps then an error message appears.  One more thing is once it is closed and started next time, the apps did not work.
