My advice would be to be prepared to shop about. There's a huge selection of MP3 players now and the prices can vary enormously. I've seen a 1Gb (that's probably over 200 single songs) player for just over £15 recently.
TBH it's cheap, so the build and sound quality are probably going to be not al that great, but if you're at the gym where these things can get bashed, crushed and nicked, it's probably a better buy.
You can use Windows Media Player to "rip" CDs into MP3s that are stored in "My Music" on your PCs hard-drive.
Plug the player in via the USB connector and go to "MyComputer" it should show as a new drive (under "Devices with Removeable storage"). Click on the new device and then just drag your music files from the "My Music" file into the MP3 player folder.
It sounds waaaaaaay more complicated than it is. ;)
Give me a shout if you get stuck and I'll do "screen-shots" (pictures of what it looks like on the screen) for you of what you do. ;)
lots of advice is found here :
I went for a Sony AW3000, because it was purple. I love it to bits - I have about 2,500 songs on there and it's still only about a quarter full. Plus, it is purple.
Did I mention the purpleness?
It depends on what you want - just music and lots of it? Then anything will be fine. Remember, if you get one of the cheap 1GB thingys, that's still about 30 albums of songs and you can delete and add to your hearts content. I wanted to put everything i own on one small machine that I could shove on 'random' - any machine with a hard drive over 5GB is more than enough for most people for this purpose. If you are a real audiophile, then get an analogue record deck and play stuff on vinyl instead :>
i have a 30gb ipod....be nice to fill it up....i only 3500 songs on there!
I can easily free up space if I need to by deleting all the useless U2 albums I put on there to see if I could ever grow to tolerate thier stuff. I keep it all on as I have plently of space left, and have a vague feeling I should at least admire them, but every time one of thier tracks comes on, I have to press 'skip.'
Right all you iPod geeks... HELP!
I bought an iPod ages ago and used my mum's G4 Notebook to copy all my CD's and fired them onto my iPod. Happy days. She decided to delete the library for some reason so all my CD's are gone.
I downloaded iTunes onto my own laptop thinking I'd add all my new CD's onto my iPod... only my iPod has other ideas! It comes up with the option for updating shaded and the only option left is to restore. I don't want to have to put all my old CD's back on... is there any way round this?
I've already set it to manually update but that doesn't make any difference... any suggestions?
Cheers

On second thoughts... it seems they've almost thought of everything! :giggle:
onto it. Can you just drag them from the CD or do you have to convert them somehow? If you do, what software do you need and does it come with the player?
