Hello,
I have recently purchased an mp3, and I have Windows 98 SE. I need to know how to add music files to the mp3 player. Can you please give me step by step instructions? thank you

It would be helpful to tell everybody what type of mp3 player you have. Usually you have to install the software that came with your player or download some driver to make your computer recognize the mp3 player connecting to the computer.

just for the heck of it .you just drag and drop them in windows explorer just you would move any files around you computer .you mp3 player becomesa removal disk .also to get the maximun amount of songs on that the manufactor say will fit on the memory you will need to use a mp3 file converter to cut the bit rate of the mp3 down from 128bit [what most mp3 are ] to 64 or 75 ,you may loose a little in the quality ,but unless you have a IPod with lots of memory you will want to do this !I do anyway .but i only have a 64 meg player ! what i use is music machjukebox software that came with the player ,i convert the mp3 to mp3 ,just lower the bitrate .

hey what crap is going on here .....
every mp3 comes with a software to load songs and in case u did not get a software then u can simply copy paste songs from your computer onto the removable disk ...... simple enough for everyone to understand !!!
