The Ipod I won doesn't have an instruction manual. Of course, most of it is pretty self-explanatory. What I'm mostly wondering is if there is a way to download music from Windows Media Player to the Ipod, or do I have to go through Itunes?  I have a couple hundred songs on my Windows Media Player that I have already paid for, and I really do not want to pay for them again.

It was a long time when I loaded my music to iTunes but since some was on CD I am fairly sure I used Windows Media Player. I just don't recall how. You should be able to go to iTunes web site or use the help - that is what I had to do because i did have the isntruction booklet but the text was sooo small I couldn't rad it LOL.. My old one was a shuffle now I have the newest nano.

Good thing you're here Erin. I am useless with ipods/itunes & mp3players/windows media. I have to have hubby handle it all.

Sonsa Connect Wi-Fi Scandisk 4GB MP3 player

This is a really nice model. I like how it uses Wi Fi, thats really cool, anyway ok...

first, make sure you connect the mp3 player to your computer and make sure the computer recognizes it.

Next, open Yahoo! Music Jukebox. you need to drag and drop the songs to the Sansa Connect icon in the left column.

to transfer photos and videos, you need to use the sansa media converter,  with this software you can crop, rotate, and resize before transfering them to the device or your microSD. to do this, press the ADD MEDIA button and choose the photos and videos you want to transfer. when done press the convert button.

now this is one way, but there is another option to use.

you may transfer files using windows explorer. From MY COMPUTER, open the sansa Connect device, and then open the Internal Memory folder.

to transfer music, locate the music files you want to move, in the formats MP3, AAC, WMA, or WMA, and drag and drop them to the Music folder. for photos you do the same thing except the proper format, and drag and drop to the video folder, and etc etc for the videos

now if you want to transfer your files to the microSD card, insert the card and open the expansion memory folder and do the same drag drop and i have described.

let me know if this helps or not, if you have tried this and it didnt work for you, let me when what happened when you tried it. what ever happens could tell me what to do to fix it.

hope this helps  good luck

Im sorry, i just re read your thread and realized that you werent having problems putting the music on the device but instead have a problem downloading it. tell me, when you go the the account to download the music, what are the instructions given, and what happens when you follow them. that could help me understand the problem. sorry about the mix up.

yeah my MP3 player is by Sensa and I just love it to death and it was only 38 dollars and its so easy to use. Everyone at my school has the video ipod i donno how they afford them and then of course macbook pro. Because everyone needs a 2000 dollar laptop! The ipod today was not locked in my pocket so the sound kept going up and down lol I guess my leg was rubbing on it.

This is the kind I have. It's so tiny and back lit and the sound is good. Plus you just charge it by plugging it into your laptop w/ a usb adaptor, its nice.
