No software needed. Set your USB setting to MSC and simply drag & drop (or copy & paste) from your computer. If you’ve got any CD’s you can ‘rip’ them to .mp3 format and copy those over. Otherwise, there are a lot of places you can download songs from. Just make sure they’re legal. 
You probably should read the manual though to bone up on how the thing works. Note that there are 3 versions of the e200 series, with separate manuals for each. Go to Settings > Info on the player and read the top line which is the firmware verson. If it starts with a V01 you have a version (or V) 1 player. If it starts with a V03 you have a v2 model. The ‘R’ or Rhapsody model is pretty obvious when you start up the player
Congratulations on your new toy. In my opinion, the e200 series is the best player SanDisk has ever made. Feel free to browse and.or search around the forum here for tips and information you may be curious about. And you can always post a question if you don’t understand something. :smiley:
