Hi,

Just bought my daughter one of the £24.99 Somerfield MP3 players. Trouble is I'm a MP3/Techno cabbage !!

Could somebody please give me a tuition on how to download my daughters cd's and download various music from the net to the MP3 player. I have windows media player running on windows 98se, please explain things as if you were explaining it to a 4 year old, I won't be offended, cheers .........

you need a cd ripper like, full instrcutions and help on the web site

as Media player on win 98 does not have the CD rip facility

Once it is copied to your hard disk you can then use Windows Explorer ,
To open Windows Explorer, locate Windows Explorer on your Start menu and then click on it. Alternatively, hold down the Windows key and type e (Windows-e).

When you open Windows Explorer, the screen shown here will appear.

the MP3 player will appear as an F drive or something on your list, if you cannot see it then unplug it and plug it back if and you should see it vanish from the list

you then need to locate where the MP3's are stored on your hard drive, highlight the one you wan to copy ot the MP3 player and then hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to where the MP3 player appears on the list screen above, when you release the mouse button it will copy to the MP3 player

When you have eaten your rusk, visit this webpage which explains step by step how to convert your CD's into MP3 rip's

If you download dBpowerAMP Music Converter (dMC) using this link, it is not the very latest version but it is FREE.

You then simply have to copy the MP3 files across to your new MP3 player.

:rolleyes:

If you plan on downloading music from the main UK music sites, make sure your MP3 player supports DRM, otherwise they won't play.

There are ways around it, but they will invariably give you poorer sound quality on downloaded music that isn't that great to begin with.
