The easiest way that I have found to put music onto non-ipod MP3 players is to use a program called MediaMonkey. Just ensure that your MP3 player is plugged in when you start the program and it will show up on the left hand panel of the program. For further clarification please reply.

you first have to rip the contents of the cd to your itunes (or whatever media player you use). then you can move them to your ipod from your music library.
the issue is that when songs are on an audio cd, they're in a particular format (some refer to the format as an "analog" format) that can only be read by cd players and cd drives. so when you add music to your computer, you usually have to change the format of the music to something like "mp3", which is a common digital format that most/all digital media devices (such as your ipod) can read.
try to get your computer to give it a drive letter go to my computer find the device right click then format. ti shoud format

Try to format your device using windows media player if you have not done so...do not use my computer to format the device because you will delete the firmware also...should you need help formatting the device inside windows media player, let me know...
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
