Problem ripping music to my MP3 player

[John]

Hi,

Can anyone help me please?

I have recently downloaded the above programme, and now I want to download
some of my WMA music flies on it to play on my 2 gig MP3 player. I am using
Windows XP

My Instruction book for the MP3 says "just copy and paste from MWP" but
there does not appear to be a facility to do this on WMP. I feel I am going
round in circles.

My next question, if we can sort the first one out, is, how can I download
other files such as MP3 files and iTunes files to my MP3 Player.

It would be a big help if anyone can supply some wisdom please.

Many thanks

John

No, not really.

What programme ? My crystal ball is HS ;-)

Two things : WMA are not the same as mp3's. They are both compressed files,
but one is MS the other generic.

Can your mp3 player also read WMA files ? Read the specs in the accompanying
booklet.

If it can't, then you need to transform the wma's into mp3's. For this you
need either Goldwave (small fee, easy t use, full of extra goodies -
normaliser etc) or a freeware - see this link for your choice :

Thanks Jerry,

Yes the MP3 instructions do state that it will download both WMA and MP3
files.

I have also just received some advice that the "SYNC" facility in WMP is a
form of "Interface" whereby music can be dropped into it and then from there
burned to my MP3. Is this correct?

The other matter regarding iTunes, I am still unsure of what format these
files are in.

Thanks for your help.

John.
