 Downloading music to an MP3 player is as easy as drag and drop in most cases
Downloading Music To An MP3 Player
In MSC Mode
Mass Storage Class mode essentially
turns the MP3 player into a portable hard drive of sorts. Any file,
music or otherwise can be loaded into the available memory space for
use or (if the player supports it) playback. When connected to a
computer an MP3 player set to MSC mode appears as another hard drive.
The files can simply be dragged and dropped into the appropriate
folder. When the MP3 player is removed from the computer it
functions normally and can then be plugged into another computer to
transfer off any additional files that may have been stored there.
Downloading Music To An MP3 Player
In MTP Mode
Using an MP3 player in MTP mode limits
a users options. MTP mode is most often used with music downloading
subscription services such as Rhapsody, Napster, or Yahoo Music.
These subscription services charge a monthly fee for unlimited access
to the music on their servers. The music can be downloaded and
played on an MP3 player, but when the subscription ends the music
will not play any more. In MTP mode downloaded music is transferred
to the MP3 player by the subscription software. The MP3 player's
excess storage space is not available to use for storing other files
as can be done when using MSC mode.
Once a person understands how his or
her MP3 player organizes and stores information, downloading music to
the MP3 player becomes a simple matter of selecting their favorite
media manager software. For more information on this part of the
process read on to the next article in this series .
