Help needed with MP3

[GoldenOldy]

My MP3 player has arrived with instructions how to find my way around it but nothing that tells me how to put music and downloads onto it.

It has a small CD with it that I've put into my computer but that only seems to be files of demo music etc. If the files are more relevant I can't see what I'm meant to do with them!

It has a USB connector that I've plugged into the computer and that seems to charge the battery.

I've downloaded a couple of the podcasts onto my computer but I can't get the MP3 player and computer talking to each other.

Is there a simple way anyone can tell me what I should be doing please?

I am definately not a techno geek but on my laptop I have to go to "computer" on the startup menu & then double click on the removeable devices I think it is. with me its a walkman so says walkman. anyway, double clicking on "walkman" for me opens up a folder where I can drag music to from other folders, usually from windows media player, or my recent downloads folder ~ the downloads folder is also found on the startup menu by searching for downloads & double clicking again.

good luck. if this doesnt make sense then I hope that someone "in the know" can help you better. shelley

sorry, meant to say, when I say startup menu, I mean click on the big round windows logo on the very bottom left hand corner, on the bottom toolbar bit (sorry thats probably not what its called) when I hover the mouse over it it says "start"

Woohoo, in my eyes you are now a techno geek. The podcast is now on my MP3 player.

you are not alone ! I thought I was brilliant at technology...until I came to try and get my podcast onto my little iPod Shuffle. At about the fourth swearing attempt I finally figured out how to drag and drop...and I think (fingers crossed) it is there

But meriad - with the shuffle you don't even need to drag and drop!

well it was the only way I could do it...need my daughter (or a handy 8 year old child) to demonstrate
