Donna,
I haven't opened the box yet but found the manual online. Here it is.

Within the first few pages it tells you to download the music to your computer, connect the USB cable to the unit, then drag the music files to the unit. To get the music files to your PC, you can download music from a CD to your PC using Windows Media Player, but there are probably other ways as well. I had a terrible time getting the music into an Android Tablet so I returned it. This seems easier to use. I'm not an expert either.

For help to get music into your PC, you can go to YouTube.com and search on downloading music to your PC. Good luck.

try using windows media player to load you music onto the mp3 player
first open windows media player and connect you mp3 player to the pc , it should pop up in windows media player and ask you to name it, after that goto the media player music library and drag the songs you want to put on the device into the sync window on the right hand side of the screen after your done click on sync and just wait for it to finish after thats done you should have music on your mp3 player :)

I to have so many problems with windows media player its a shame... but like all things there is a way around it.

If the music you are trying to put on the mp3 is in windows media player, then you'll need to track it down.. *note- not all removable media comply with windows media player*

If you are using a PC-- desktop, then finding the music should be simple, and found in the folder my music.

Once you have located the music you want to put on your mp3, you'll have to find your mp3 player.

The mp3 player should show up as a removable disk or storage in "my computer".

Once you have found your mp3 as a removable disk, right click it, then go to explore. This should open a folder containing the contents of your mp3 player.

You may see several folders in it, but the one you want to go to is of course music.

From here on its simple... the My Music folder on your computer should still be open.... also the music folder inside your mp3 folder should be open.

Drag and drop the music files from the my music folder to your mp3 folder... a notification and time of the transfer will appear.

When it is done... the music will be added to your mp3 player ..... this process can also be used vice versa, as in getting music from your mp3 to your computer.

Please notify me if there are any problems.. thanxx <(^_^)>

go to my computer open the c: drive, then find the file that you had save your music. and open that file....connect the mp3 player (brand, model) to pc once connected open mp3 (copy music files from c::, paste all to mp3)

if your mp3 is an ipod you must download itunes and dowload the music from c: using itunes


have fun enjoy

THE SYNC FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ON ALL PLAYERS! WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR MP3 A SCREEN SHOULD APPEAR... OPEN THE PLAYER... CLICK MUSIC AND YOU SHOULD GET A BLANK SCREEN OPEN SONG FOLDER WINDOW AND DRAG SONGS TO MUSIC WINDOW ON PLAYER. MAKE SURE UNIT IS ON .THIS SHOULD WORK FOR YA!

You must use the music transfer software that came with the CD (also avail on Rio website) - which will not load on newer, Vista running computers.
