    Think I have a similar question - but my firewall doesn't let me download .exe files (and I don't want to reduce the security setting).

    what format are your files already? But I do agree with the above comment dbpower amp is good.

    You should use a download manager or just allow that one file to be downloaded.

    That is your problem! You need to convert the music files to mp3 format to play on an mp3 player.

    :rolleyes:

    I've always used windows media player to rip my cds to wma or mp3 format. WMA gives better compression for the same quality so I can fit more on my mp3 player.

    the best i find is cdex

    put in a cd, and rips them all to whatever you want, mp3, ogg, etc

    and not to any speicific itunes .aac or windows .wma files

    try it out, also if its a proper cd, it can download the track names to, and name them for you

    goodluck
