What brand is it?

I have a Creative Zen. I plug it in to the computer with USB cable and drag music from "my music" and add them to the Creative folder and then hit go. It does take a long time to download though.

LOL, Nicki, welcome to the club.

My MP3 player plugs in to the computer and then I use my CD's to copy to the MP3. But I have never downloaded anything off the web.

When I plug my MP3 in, a screen comes up with suggestions of what I can do. I used the copy music CD's option.

Hope this helps.

Nicki my cell phone has a built in MP3
player...I don't have a clue how to use it but I'd never listen to it anyway..

Only time I listen to music is when I'm in the car or home alone.

Well I'm right there with you - I had to ask a friend what exactly is an Ipod and is it like a Walkman. And this wasn't a while back - it was like last week.

I don't want to sound stupid, so I don't ask. Now I find out by 2009 all TV's will be HDTV's. Or so I was told. I don't know if that is true or not. What the heck is HD? High Definition? What's that? Will you 'old' TV's still work? I'm going to re-do the livingroom, and I want to put the big entertainment center (takes up to much of the livingroom) in the basement. And will be getting a large flat screen HDTV for the livingroom.

I don't even try to understand. I got one for Lauren for her birthday and she knew what to do. Have you asked your daughter? LOL!

I kinda know what they are, and what they do, but don't have the foggiest clue as to how to get the music from a CD to the MP3 player. I bought a little 1 GB one to download some songs onto, to play while I'm on the treadmill - I figure about 50 songs would be more than enough - but I have to wait until my DGS stops over to get it downloaded. (Dragging myself slowly into the 21st century!)

I only kinda know how iPods work. You have to download a special program called iTunes onto your computer and then you can upload (or download? I don't know the difference) your cd's right on to the iTunes program. then when you plug the iPod into the computer and bring up the iTunes, it transers all the music right to the iPod. I assume most MP3 players have a program similar to iTunes to store the music before transferring it to the mp3 player.

You are a brave soul, I have no idea what to do with them. This summer I had booked a client on an Alaskan cruise and he called to ask if there was a 'docking station' in his suite for his iPod....I had no clue what the heck he was talking about but called the cruiseline to ask. They provided a complimentary iPod for his use and his butler would download whatever he wanted....LOL!!! So I still don't know what a docking station is for.

My first computer was a used laptop and they threw in the docking station with it. I never really needed it. I does give you extra plug-ins for peripherals.

Different brands of MP3 players are all different. I have a Creative Zen and it is so simple to use. Like
naughtykitty said, you can drag and drop it on the player or you can do a save-as to the player like any other file save.

Nicki, you're ahead of me. I don't even know what an MP3 is!

You guys aren't going to believe this... but I'm STILL trying. lol It's and RCA model... ???

Stand outside in your yard and yell for the nearest teenager...(thank god I'm blessed with boys and a husband who are computer geeks)...I woulda never figured out the IPOD...and I'da been right there along side of you!

Nicki, want me to call you and try to walk you through?

Email me through my page.

It should have come with instructions, but if those have been misplaced already, you should be able to find an owner's manual online on the manufacturer's web site.

Nicki, I have a Zen Vplus and bought my daughter a Zen Stone
oops, forgot the first one for younger daughter - a zen M 30 gig (all Creative brand) the directions are usually easy to follow, I mostly "burn" CDs to mine, did some downloading with the free trials from emusic, and a few others but I went back to burning CDs I borrowed from the library

I'm 54 and if you can read, you can download!!! LOL

Come on... it's easy... hook the thingy to the thingy and hit the button. Clear as mud, right? Read the directions and when all else fails, give it to your youngest and she'll stumble on the right way to do it. Lol

Nicki - try this...

Plug in your MP3 player.

Go to MY COMPUTER and the device should show up there. Double click on that to open it.

Then open the folder you store your music in (MY MUSIC is usually where it goes.)

Select the songs you want by left clicking on the song title - to select more than one at a time, hold down the CTRL (Control) key. When you have what you want selected - right click and "COPY".

Then go to you device that you have opened and click "PASTE"

Now there are much easier ways - but this will get you going at least. Once you get the idea, it should work for you.

Also GOOGLE your specific MP3 player. I bet there are detailed instructions on how to load it on the 'net somewhere.
