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:
