How would I go about making my own Kontakt library that shows up on the main menu of Kontakt 8

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I recently recorded a whole bunch of samples from a ton of instruments I own and have painstakingly sat there and made them all into NKIs. Rather than having to drag and drop all of the instruments into Kontakt, I would like to have them show up the same way as stuff like the Kontakt Factory Library 2 and all other official Kontakt instruments do. (i.e. to have a proper NICNT file & registry entry for it) How would I go about doing this?

Also, I don't want to have this be Player compatible, as to avoid the encryption fee thing.

NICNT file and especially registry entry is intrinsically linked to a library being Kontakt Player encoded.

What you can do instead is import your library into the new browser (click the Kontakt logo in top left, then click the cogwheel button bottom left).
