It will either come with software that you have to or can use or you just drag and drop

For instance on my phone my mp3 drag and drop works as thus:
Attach phone to computer via lead.
Go into Windows Explorer and find the music l want.
Click on Computers..and then the device l need.
Click on the song/s you want to copy over and then click on copy
Paste it into the area l want and it wizzes over.

May well be an easier way but this is how l do it

Caro you can just click on the song, and add to playlist, then click on the icon so that it dowloads onto the mp3, or if you have albums and stuff on your Comp you just click all the songs you want then copy, and it does it in seconds.

I do love my Ipod nano, but I have to say I don't think they are the easiest for downloading tunes at first until you get the hang of it. You can get them quite cheap on Ebay for some of the 2nd/3rd generation nano's, the newer ones are still quite expensive.

alternatively there is the shuffle which are a lot cheaper and look really cook, I just like having a screen on mine.

Hi... I have a Sony Walkman - hopefully the link is working for details/reviews etc.... brought thru Amazon just before Christmas ...... the price changes daily.... i got the 16GB for £78 but haven't seen it for that price since... but I just love it... it has so got me back into my music and the sound quality is superb....... I know you can get most things on a phone but I've got an older Nokia phone that I'm quite happy with so decided to get an MP3. But it is just GREAT!

I think I fancy trying to find something simple to use and not madly expensive.

hey, ive had ipods ever since i started buying mp3 players and ive found them great, and depending on how much you want to spend theres one there, i had an ipod shuffle for running as their tiny and cost about 40 now and they dont have a screen to faff with if you dont like that kind of stuff just plug it in the computer drag songs on and press play

although if you want something more hi-tech the ipod touch like ST said is a good one, at the moment ive got the iphone (basically the ipod touch with a phone init) as i got bored of carrying my ipod video and mobile around (id alway forget one of them ) lol so that works great for me never had the ipod touch but i assume you can get wireless internet on them too? i think so good luck in your search!!

Creative zens are ace! Highly recommend. I've had mine for about 3 years now and (touch wood) it's been great, It cost me £150 for a 20gb back then (which was a total bargain). My friend has just got a new one and it's a lot smaller and compact, I think it's a whopping 40gb and cost him about £100.

I bought my daughter an ipod touch, it's really cool you can watch films and everything on it, and if you are playing games on it and tilt the screen the pic tilts too.You can add apps as well, like spirit levels and stuff like that.

She can get thousands of songs on it as well

I have an ipod nano and wouldnt be without it, i have an fm transmitter in my car so can play my tunes wherever I go. not the cheapest but I think the best. easy to add your own tunes and itunes online.

My hubby has just got a new phone (on contract so it was free!) a Sony-Ericsson C905, it's got an MP3 player in it & an 8.1megapixel camera in it, so it's like 3 things in one!

Seriously though, most modern phones have got quite good ones in them now.

I like this site for info it has user reviews for the different ones: http://www.recommendedbuys.co.uk/electronics/mp3-players/index.htm

This site is also good for reviews and general info: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/digitalmusic/

I ended up with a phone that had it all on am hoping it works out but easier to carry a single item than 2. Well that's my theory. A friend of mine likes Creative MP3 players. I would say make sure you get one that can take up where it was turned off instead of going back to the beginning of the album. Battery life as well.
