 Most MP3 players, with the notable
exception of the iPod, will work directly with the sync capability of
Microsoft's Media Player software to allow a user to upload and
manage music and other media files on the device. When used with an
MP3 player set to MTP mode Media Player can download any file
including DRM protected files directly to the MP3 player or other
portable device. The catch is that using MS Media Player to download
music to an MP3 player is not as easy to figure out as Microsoft
might think. Use this guide to learn how to do it.

Download Music To MP3 Players:
Hooking Up
Run Microsoft Media Player and click on
the sync tab. Next plug in the MP3 player using the player's built
in USB connection. Once the device is recognized by the computer the
MP3 player should show up as a selection in the top right corner of
the window. If for some reason the device is not recognized make
sure that the MP3 player is set correctly. Some MP3 players have
different file storage modes (see the first part of this article for more
details ).
Selecting Files To Be Synced To The
MP3 Player
Before going any farther click the
Library tab and create a new playlist filled with any music that is
to be transferred. Simply navigate through the music library, right clicking on files that are to be downloaded and click the "Add To Playlist" button. Once the playlist is filled return to the Sync
tab and click/drag the new playlist from the left column to the far
right column under the picture of the MP3 player.
Downloading The Music To The MP3
Player
Once a playlist has been created and
dragged into the right hand column of the sync tab of the MS Media
Player window all that remains is to start the sync. Depending on
the amount of files to be syncronized this may take a few seconds or
several minutes. Any DRM protected files will also have their
related licenses transferred to the device. Downloading files to an MP3 player is very easy when compared to burning a CD . Once the transfer has
completed simply unplug the MP3 Player and get ready to listen to
some tunes!
