i have just bought a mp3 player. I have windows xp, can anyone please tell
me step by step how i download mp3 files onto this machine, i have beng
trying for 3 hours, do not know what i am doing!!!

When you plug it in it should show up in "My Computer" as an external
storage device. The auto play function may kick in and you can choose to
open it there. Just drag the files to it. Another method is to use the "Sync
Tab" in WMP and see if it recognizes it. You can drag files from there.

If it does not show up or these methods do not work there may be special
software required that came with the player.

Did you bother to read the instruction manual that came with the MP3 player?
