If the files are mp3 format, you just need to copy and paste them from whichever drive they are current in (usually the c: drive), into the mp3 player drive, (usually the e: drive) Trust me though, if you use the Sony software, SonicStage, it will make things a lot easier, you can have it autoscan your computer for every music file, then import them easily onto SonicStage compatible devices (any Sony MP3) player. I have two Sony mp3 players, so hit me up if you have any other questions.

Format it and reload the songs, make sure they are in the correct format, even better get a MP3 player  ;-)

I find it is more demanding on the system and runs a lot more processes in the background. So yes it is very possibly that it might be slow on an older system.\n\nI always found that Windows Media Player 9 was the best way to go. Its a little hard but you can remove the new version and go back to using an older one.\n\nHope this helps.

yes, for the same quality, size of a *.rm is always less than *.mp3. However, you may make some adjustments in order to reduce mp3 file size (usually decrease the quality).

Have not seen a chart but here is the math\n\nthe average mp3 is about 3.5 mb\nthere is approximately 1000 mb in a gigabyte\n\nso that is 1000/3.5=285\n\n1 gb=285\n2 gb=570\n3 gb=855\n4 gb=1140\n\n\nI am speaking in terms of songs and not play time

The mp3 player on my cell phone was the same way, you either want to upgrade your Operating Software or not use your mp3 player...lol

Go with the 2gb for 500 songs, and the 4gb for 1000 songs. The  1gb holds 250 songs. Go to shopping.com for a comparison of ipods, it can tell you everything, plus the number of songs it will hold.

In my opinion, the iPod is the best mp3 player available. Its largest version (60GB) is 400 dollars.

Per experience, Windows Media Player is a resource hog (but Media Player Classic is pretty light!).  Winamp (with classical skins), take up the least amount of memory, while Real Player in my experience is the worst of the bunch.

It looks like you're right, your computer doesn't have USB 2.0. But the good news is, you can still attach your iPod to it, it will just transfer data slower. So it'll be one song every 2-3 seconds, whereas if you had USB 2.0 it would be about 40 times faster. If I were you I'd get a firewire connector for the iPod, that's almost as fast as USB 2.0 (and your computer does have firewire ports).

I got a 128 mb Kingston.  It is the silver one.   Nice looking and no data has ever been lost.  If you have usb2, it can use that kind of port, so transferring files are fast.  If you can afford it, then get a 1 gb, or 4 gb.  But for saving files that don't amount to much memory, 128 mb is sufficent.   Kingston is the only one that I have ever used.  There is no splash screens that pop-up everytime you put the drive into the usb device, so that eliminates time wasted.

It depends on the MP3 player you have ... if it's got a fixed amount of memory, then that's all that you have. Some players have flash cards like SD or Compact Flash, etc and you can buy bigger ones if you want. Look at the instruction manual - it should tell you if you're able to add more space or not.\n\nToodles

Try convert to mp3s before burning them into cd!!! U will get more than 80min if u use mp3 format! But be sure of using 128kbps or 192kbps to maintain the original qualities!!!!!! even its considered as data, but it can be played by every audio player now!!!

MP3s are already pretty compressed.  I doubt you're going to get much more compression out of them unless you severely degrade the quality of the music by reducing the bitrate.

You should download Itunes. og to file, properties an go to the change the bit rate to 96 this will make the files amaller and you wil still bee able to hear them. Keep in mind that the lower  teh bit rate the lower the quality. But  I think that 96 is fine. Itunes is a pretty good player for converting i have used it personaly. if your music is wma or any other format it eill convert it to mp3 and it will store in a a file called Itune under you Music folder.
