....to use Apple's vile iTunes software (download it from the Apple website). Alternatively there are third party alternatives which, hopefully, some kind soul here will tell you about. Windows Media Player isn't one of them.
I confess. I am clueless about the best way to move music from a CD to an MP3 player.
Current player is an iPOD classic (actually, it's my daughter's). We are running Win XP. (FWIW, I know NOTHING about windows media players.)
We had a Samsa but I couldn't figure out how to load music onto it before it broke, oops.
Please forgive me for asking a "dumb question", but I just can't keep up with every piece of tech out there any more, esp stuff that comes with a manual written in microfont *sheepish grin*. Any more, I'm happy to be able to make calls with a cell phone. Getting old is a... an offense to the AUP. lolxor
Thanks in advance for your patience with me. Kat
