MP3 help

[Bloom]

I have recently been given an MP3 solid state player 256MB and have no idea how to download music onto this. Can any1 give me any advice or good sites? I did get Musicmatch with the software - do I need to download software from the internet in order to download the music tracks? Any help much appreciated!

you will need mp3 trax on your pc.

you can dl songs legally from music websites such as itunes or failing that rip trax from cd's you already own on to your pc hard drive.

The Musicmatch software will convert CD tracks into mp3 format for you.  The player will connect via a USB port.  As you have Musicmatch make sure the player is attached via the USB and switched on/attached to its charger.

Musicmatch is one of the most user friendly programmes I've used for 'ripping'(that's taking tracks from CD's and converting and uploading them to the player) so you should be able to navigate your way around it fairly quickly.  I have used drag and drop with other software but I doubt this will be the case here.

 

Give it a go, spend a good half hour tinkering with the software and get back to us if you're still having difficulties.

I bought an MP3 player only last week, and as I already had all my MP3 tracks on my hard drive, I just highlighted the ones I wanted to download,right clicked on the mouse,and selected send to external device.It took about 3 minutes to transfer 120 tracks to my player.
