Loading music hello im tring to load music on my friends mp3 player. the models above. how do i load this mp3 without the manual. using windows media player. it doesnt connect as easily as my sansa mp3.

you can use websites like itunes.com and get the music then use windows media player to sync the songs to your mp3 player just load the music you get into the windows media player library and then drag them over to a sync window and click on the sync button :)

you can load the player like a flash drive and dump the music via direct transfer to the music folder, or you can use the software that it recomends in the manual

from above link you can find the user manual...

You can use Windows Media Player to transfer songs to the player without using Rhapsody. You will need to sign up for an online music service that is compatible with the player (in other words - not iTunes), or have songs on CD.

Here are some helpful links on using Windows Media Player:
The instructions in these pages, which are largely links, pertain to Windows Media Player 10 and 11 only.

Windows Media Player is made by Microsoft. The general help page for Windows Media Player is:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

Through this link, you can enter a variety of search terms that will help you find what you are looking for (exs.: “add files to my mp3 player”; “delete files from my mp3 player,” etc.)

Important Vocabulary:

The code word for “mp3 player” in Windows Media Player is “DEVICE” or “portable device”

The code word for adding files is “SYNC,” “syncing,” or “synchronizing”

The code word for copying files from CD is “RIP,” or “ripping”

The code word for files stored on both My Computer and my Mp3 player (when it is connected to the computer) is “LIBRARY”

All of you posted this question under model # GPX ML648B, so my directions only apply to that particular model - every mp3 player is different:
To transfer music, use Windows Media Player - in order to transfer the songs without getting an error message, I would switch the player to MTP mode; and I would only add songs that are in mp3 format. Even though this player will read SOME WMA's, it would take me a whole page to explain which ones would work and which ones wouldn't.

For the person who said that they have some sort of iPod - download the iTunes music service - it will recognize your iPod and you will see the icon listed on the left-hand side of the iTunes window. Once you have purchased songs, you can transfer them to the iPod using the iTunes service.

I have a gpx mw3847 and I load songs by opening up My Computer, finding my gpx mw3847 and opening it. Then I go to MY Music where I have my MP3 songs and just drag or copy the ones I want over to my Player. I don't use Windows media player to load songs no any of my players

You don't need Creative's software to load music to your MP3 player
Use FreeRip to rip your CD's and use Windows explorer to transfer your ripped music (use copy & paste functions) onto the Storage Media/Music folder in your X-Fi.

I have Windows XP SP3 and installed Creative Centrale without problems.
I can RIP music from CD's using the program but I find the program freezes up after ripping a few CD's -
I think that the errors are linked with the database program loading the CD data.

Use Windows Media Player to transfer the songs - theirr help files on the microsoft website have clikc-by-click instructions with pictures.

I would suggest Realplayer 10 or using Windows Media player.

Also, you did not post the model of the player you are refering to...

Did you use Windows Media Player to format?

WMP never does a thorough format.

If so, try formatting thru My Computer. Right Click on the Device (e260) and select FORMAT.

Then try transferring your music again.



Best of Luck.
