how do i fill a portable music player with music?

Question

OK, i'm looking at getting a portable music player, but i'm very confused. how does the music get into the player?? i know i have to put it there, but do i have to pay for it, or does it come with x number of songs with purchase??

oh, and what player do you think is best for the buck, and why?

thanks.

Answer 1

Pouring it in from a bucket can be messy. I suggest you use a funnel. Be careful--music is expensive and you do not want to spill it! Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The player should come with a connection cable, so that you can transfer music from your computer to the player. You can put on music from CD's or you can download music, which will cost you, but not too much. I don't really know which would be best for you, depends how much you want to spend and how much music you want to put on it. Ask friends or family for advice.

Answer 3

ok, it depends on what you decide. i'm guessing if it was an ipod, you would've said so. but no, they don't come with songs, unless you got some kind of special offer. I use limewire, and they are free, but if you use it, do it with a little caution because it is risky, you are supposed to pay for music, its called piracy. but anyways, when you plug your mp3 player into the computer, go to your desktop and click on my computer. in that folder, there is a category called devices with removable storage, and maybe a couple of things underneath it, like 31/2 floppy, or cd drive, and then there should be some abbreviaton of the mp3 player name that you have. double click on it, and download any songs you want from any music program that you have, and click and drag them into that folder. they should download onto it, and there ya go!

Answer 4

Use a usb cable then you right click the file and use the send to menu item
i use bitcomet to download .torrent files from isohunt.com or thepiratebay.com or limewire software
i have a sansa e250 its great all have used RCA mp3 players there ok i like the snasa becuse i got it on sale for a really good price but i got it for half off its normal 180. I hate ipod becuse they back up all your music files and take double the space and you have to use there software to transfer files to there player i like Players that you can use windows to do the work

ok to get the music on your player, you have to set it up on your computer and from there you may buy the songs you wish which are only $0.99 if you get it on iTunes. If you dont want to buy then collect all your CDs and insert them in your computer and you can pick which songs you want to put on your player. That if you have a MP3 or ipod. If you have a CD player then all you do is put in a cd in the cd place and your all set.

Answer 6

iPod = the best. There more accessories for it and ease of use is second to none. There are also buttload of programs to add to it to add functionality and stuff.

For the ipod you use itunes. you can set it to auto fill from the music you have already in itunes (you can have it import music in off your cds) or you can buy some on itunes itself.

if you feel risky you can try P2p to download some but you might get nailed. one thign I do is swap cds or discs of mp3s with pals of mine for more music.

But once you have itunes and you ipod set up, all you do is plug in the ipod. Itunes does the rest. You can set p itunes to include everythig you have, only certian playlists or only stff you've checked on. etc... many ways to do it to your liking. Itunes rocks.

ilounge.com is a great place to go for ipod info.

Answer 7

you have to plug it in to the computer via usb (there are usually a few ports on the back of your computer). and yes you have to pay for songs, download them then transfer them to your player.

Answer 8

iPods are all of the trend in recent times. although do evaluate the fee and the fee at which yet another greater moderen iPod comes out. Juz think of with reference to the main uncomplicated ipod -> ipod mini -> ipod shuffle -> ipod nano -> ipod video. IMHO no longer very properly worth it. in terms of sound high quality, seek advice from iRiver or the hot Sony Bean NW-E207. For a great array of audio formats could i propose to you imaginitive MP3 gamers. those are my humble opinion wish it facilitates! =)
