My solution was to bypass the metro interface and instead use folders. It was literally going back a decade.
I'm not going to try any more tonight and will try some more in the next week to get my computer to work properly again. In the meantime, I was going to buy a Surface right away but forget it, I'm sticking with my ipad.
Windows 8 sucks.

Not sure if this is the problem you're having, but after a quick google search I
found this:

How do I add music!?
Seems a ridiculously nooby thing to even ask but for the life of me I can't see how!
So, there is the metro music app and WMP in the desktop - the latter being obvious. But how do I add music to the metro app as I can't see any options and simply adding music to the libraries doesn't show up.
The same thing applies to the video and pictures apps I guess...
Any help would be appreciated

Anything I've put in my default Music / Video / Pictures libraries in Windows Explorer turn up in the right metro apps.

I don't want to put my 60 GB folder into that default Music / Video / Pictures library.
Is there another way?

if you right click on the music folder, and hit properties you should be able to add the folder to be included in your music. This does not move the files over just allows the music folder to look in an additional location. I also found that a reboot may be neccessary for the import to start, still testing this though...
