How do you transfer music from the internet to your mp3 player?

Answer 1

First off, it depends on where you're getting the music from, what type of player you're using, and what file type the song is.

You can acquire music legally through anything from iTunes, Napster, and Rhapsody, and a myriad of other choices.

Or you can acquire through BitTorrent, which the music industry claims is illegal, but due to the way files are distributed (every person on the network shares just a portion of the file, not the whole thing, therefore technically it's not a copyrighted work), they haven't been able to hold a candle to them in court like the original Napster, Gneutella network, etc.

Unless you have a player that can specifically handle the FLAC format (fairly popular on BitTorrent), don't bother downloading it. These devices are typically at a premium, so you'd know if you had one. Stick to mp3's.

If you're using an iPod, the only way I know of to get your music onto it is with iTunes, which is free. Simply create a playlist, drag and drop the songs you want onto the playlist, and sync it with your iPod.

I'm not sure about a Zune player, but considering how it's made by Microsoft, I'd imagine you use Windows Media Player to get songs from your PC onto it. Personally I'd recommend an iPod and iTunes. It's just simpler, even on a Windows-based PC like I have.
