Hey, You have the media root correct, it points to a file in the system that contains the media. It is good for file upload use. The media url is basically what serves up the files and media for you, it is basically a site url, like if ur in the develpoment server it owuld be something like
http://localhost: ... /<name of ur media folder> The admin media prefix is another path to a media folder, this is related to the style of the admin interface i believe, that will just be a path to some folder on ur system. hope some of that helps, i struggled with the first two in my attempts to get a file upload system working. Search my user name a little more and u might find some more examples that might be better than mine, cause i had the same questions.
