How to Transfer CD Songs To a Mp3 Player

Good news for you, transfering songs from a CD to an mp3 player is one of the easiest things to do! In this article I will walk you through the process, step by step.

Things You'll Need

• Windows Media Player (is already installed on most PCs)
• Mp3 Player
• USB Cable

Instructions

1. 

   Put your CD in the CD ROM drive. When you do this, Windows media player will pop up ready to play the CD. The third option down on the far left side will say "Copy From CD". Go ahead and give that button a click.

2. 

   Now, you'll see a new menu that shows the list of songs on the CD. In the upper right hand corner, about an inch or two away from the edge of the window, you will see a button that says "Copy Music". Go ahead and click that.

   Now, Windows Media Player will take a few minutes to go through and rip the music from the CD ROM and store it on your computer's hard drive. When it was done, it should give you the ability to view where the mp3s of each track are located on your hard drive.

3. 

   Find the mp3s on your hard drive and keep the folder they are located in open. Now, grab your mp3 player and the USB cable that came with it. Connect the USB cable into any of the available USB ports on your PC and connect the other end into your mp3 player device. This will open up whatever software you normally use to add music to your device.

   Drag and drop the songs you ripped from the CD earlier onto this device and apply the changes.

   Unplug your USB cable and you should be set!
