How do you download music to an mp3 player from a cd?

The most common way to get your music from a CD to an MP3 player is to RIP your CD it to your PC using iTunes, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer etc.
If you have PC you have Windows Media Player. The directions in WMP are simple and easy to follow.
When you have your songs in an MP3 or WMA format in Windows Media Player you can then sync them to your MP3 player using the sync option in Windows Media Player.

Hello,

Normal audio CD tracks should be converted to mp3 files onto the computer's hard drive, first.
This is called ripping or RIP function.
There are several programs that can RIP audio CD.
It is important to convert music into the correct bitrate for the player to match for playback. (192 kbps is good quality and often used)
You can use Windows Media Player 10 or 11 for conversion.

When you use WMP 10 or 11 and the player is detected in the program:
1. Tell the player were your music library is: setup your music library.
2. Create a playlist; make playlist name and add mp3 files to the list.
3. Synchronize the playlist with mp3 files to the player.

If the player cannot be detected in WMP 10 or 11, but only can be viewed as a removable disk in "My Computer" : use the "copy and paste" or "drag and drop" method to put mp3 files from the computer onto the player.
