How to Copy an MP3 to Kindle

The Amazon Kindle allows you to access ebooks and documents on the go. But it can also be used to transport and access other files, such as podcasts and music files. The music files Kindle is able to read are mp3 format files. Transfer these files from your personal computer to your Kindle using the reader's USB connectivity.

Things You'll Need

• Amazon Kindle
• Kindle USB cable
• Personal computer containing mp3 files

Instructions

1. Connect the Kindle to your computer using the USB cable. The Kindle will show up on your computer as an external drive.

2. Navigate your Kindle's file structure. Open the "Music" folder. In another window, navigate to the mp3 files you wish to transfer on your computer.

3. Drag and drop the mp3 files into the "Music" directory on your Kindle. Wait for the files to transfer. Once the transfer has finished you can eject and remove the Kindle with your mp3 files on it.

Tips & Warnings

• Connect your Kindle to a powered USB port. Often these will be located in the computer itself, not the keyboard or monitor.

• Only copy files you own the right to use.
