I can't figure out how to load music.. ready to pull my hair out!

At first I had a hard time finding the clip on my computer.  It wasn’t showing up, even though when I had it plugged in, it was charging.  So I put it on hold and held the center button in and plugged it back into the USB cord.  Presto… there it is in my computer now.  But now what? =(  The Quick Start Guide is really vague.  I am trying to put music off of a disc onto the player… for now.  Under the loading music part in the guide, #2 says to Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial connection.  Ok, I have yet to SEE that phrase anywhere.  And #3, Double click on Sansa device… where? In My Computer?  Sorry guys if I am just dense… it is 4 a.m. and I am tired and cranky.  I hope someone can help me with this.  I am heading to bed and will check back in the morning.

Also, is it possible to get songs that my daughter had stored in iTunes to her Clip?  

Thanks!!!

Check out these How To Videos.  Look for your version of Windows Media Player (10 or 11).  If you are using Windows XP, then you may have Windows Media Player 10 and if you have Windows Vista, then you have Windows Media Player 11.

As for the iTunes songs, they can only be used if they are the DRM Free version of the songs and are in MP3 format.  If the songs were purchased for an iPod previously, then they will not work as they are protected files.

Not sure if this is in the video how-to, but a rather crude “convert” solution is to:

(1) Use Itunes to burn the tracks onto a CD (i.e., into WAV format), and then

(2) Use any old ripping program (e.g., MediaPlayer) to rip them off the CD in MP3 format.

AFAIK, this removes the Itunes DRM (at least none of the songs I bought from Itunes have complained).

I think for your normal audiophile this is far from lossless, but if you’re using $10 earphones your converted songs will be none the worse.

Thank you for the advice… I tried to view the videos, but I got some kind of error… stating I couldn’t view the video.  I am getting rather discouraged by all of this.  There seem to be so many variables involved.  All I want to do is pull songs from a CD and put them on the clip… :cry:  Isn’t there anyone out there that can give me some simple instruction on how to do it?  Thanks.

Thank you for that detailed response… I do have a question though… how do I know if my CDs have audio or data files?  The CD I have in my computer now has .cda as the file extension. 

Thanks again! =) 

 And I have another question… sorry. In Windows Media Player, how do I rip the songs?  What do I need to go under… I have been browsing around under the File and Tools etc… but see nothing about ripping.  Thank you. Again.
