If it is in MTP mode or Auto Detect (default) then you can use Windows Media Player. If it's in MSC, then you can just drag and drop your music.

Yes, there is a usb cord which doubles as it's charger (I believe these new ones use 'micro usb', the older ones used 'mini usb' cords.) You plug it into your PC, and then if you have Windows, a dialog box will ask what you want to do, select "Show files and folders", then there should be a 'music' folder where you can drag any mp3 files on your computer into, and it will transfer them.

I plug my external USB drive into the computer. Not sure if it would work like an MP3 player. I think there is a driver on the MP3 player that allows the music to play.

Thru the USB port. Right click on the music you want to download and move it to the MP3.

I have no idea. This was a bad purchase for me. This mp3 player is not user friendly.

Attach MP3 player to computer. It will scan for hard drive. When it finds it just drag and drop music files to folder on MP3 player.

You have to pay for and download the mp3 player app. (I think it was $5.) From there, you can transfer mp3s from your computer to the LeapPad. It works well, but it loads all of the songs into a folder called "My Music" and the songs are organized alphabetically. My son has a little trouble finding which song he wants when I add multiple albums.

I'm not sure! The USB cord came with mp3 playe! I sent mine back to the factory to be repaired since it's still under warranty, but they asked for almost $20 shipping!!! Don't waist your money on this!

You don't need an MP3 player...you can also download the books from your computer to a flash drive, then, plug that into the unit. It will recognize the files as long as they are in a compatible audio format such as .wma...

Luke, If you still need one, I have uploaded a User's Guide / Manual for this MP3 player. It's included at the end of my review. Rick S.

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.

I'll assume you're asking how do you put music from your computer onto it? You use a usb connection and just take whatever audio you want and put it in the appropriate folder.

I agree. It looks like a drive on your computer, so you can drag and drop songs to it. It will play them if they are encoded in a way that it understands, i.e. basic .mp3's up to 320 Kbps (and reportedly .wav files up 30 384 Kbps, according to the manual).

I have done that so I could transfer music from one device to another. You can't play it from there like an MP3 device. But you could have it pluged into a computer or other device and play off it.

A really good MP3 player that I have come across is the SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 player. It is a little more expensive than most (I think new it's about $149.99, may be cheaper), however it lasted me about 7 years. It probably would have lasted me longer, except a friend borrowed it and left it in the rain. It is a pretty high quality player. Now on to the itunes issue. Itunes has basically made it so that you can't download music from them onto something that isn't apple, except a desktop computer. I received an itunes gift card once and did not own anything by apple. I downloaded itunes onto my computer easily and then bought a few songs. I did a lot of research and tried and tried to sinc the music onto my MP3 player, but nothing was working. Finally, I tried to download my songs onto a disc, which worked. Then I proceeded to upload that disc onto a different media player (Windows Media Player) on my computer that allowed me to download songs onto my MP3 player. All in all it was a very frustrating and difficult process. If you want to avoid the frustration of having to deal with itunes, I would just get an apple ipod, ipod touch, or something that apple allows itunes to download to. If you really want an MP3 player I would recommend the one I highlighted above.
