I Need MP3 Help?

Ok so i bought an MP3 and i'm new to this so i did not know how to download music on it, plus the instructions are crap it just has pics of other mp3 players and shows what each button does! It just says MP3 Audio and when you turn it on it says Ice Audio, so i need to know how to put music on this thing and i can't download limewire because i'm on a guest account so i pretty much can't download anything and i don't have a credit card so i can't buy music from i tunes. But some of my friends told me that i can put music i have from CD's i bought and put it on my Mp3 but i really don't get that! Can someone please help me?

I Need MP3 Help?
It's really easy to add music from cds that you currently own - you just need to use a program like Windows Media Player (WMP). (If you don't already have it on your computer, you can download a free/legal version from download.com).





All you have to do is stick the CD into the CD-ROM drive. A window may pop up asking you what action you want to take - you can select "rip music to computer." If a window doesn't pop up, not a problem - just go into WMP and select the Rip tab (depending on what version of WMP you have, it should be towards the top). When you click on the rip tab, it should take you to a screen where it shows all of the tracks on your CD. It may or may not have the information from the CD. If it doesn't have the song information, you should be able to search for the CD information somewhere on that page. It's important to have song/album information so that it will show up on your mp3 player later.





After the songs have finished ripping, you can go to the My Library tab and they should all be there . . . you can now listen to this music on your computer without actually using the CD (that's the cool part). You can add music to your mp3 player by highlighting music (it helps if you click the first track, hold the shift button, then click the last track - that will highlight all of the tracks. Right-click a highlighted area and select "Add to - Sync list." Then you just need to go to the Sync tab, connect your mp3 player, and press sync.





Just repeat the whole process for every CD you want on your mp3 player. Hopefully most of your CDs will not have copy-management stuff on them, otherwise it's going to be difficult/impossible to get them on your mp3 player (trust me, you'll know if it has copy-management software because the music will be distorted or will not rip to your computer at all).





If you still need help, see if your friends know how to transfer music.





Good luck.
Reply:You can find additional help by going to WMP help (go to the help pulldown menu). Go to the Index tab and type in "music" - then go down to "ripping from CDs" - you can also learn more about how to transfer music to the mp3 player (also known as "syncing") by typing in "sync list."
