How to Download Music Using a USB Cord

Transfering Your Downloaded Music
1. Download music onto your computer using the music downloading software of your choice. Write down the name of the folder where your computer downloads music. You may want to label a folder on your desktop as 'Music' and download into that folder so you can easily find your music later.
2. Insert the desktop management software that came with your portable device into your computer's disk drive. The software is usually on a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. If you do not have the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, go to the website of the company that made your portable device and download the software, or order a new disk from the company.
3. Plug the larger end of your USB cord into the USB port on your computer/laptop, and connect the smaller end into your MP3 player or smart phone.
4. Go into 'My Computer' on your computer by going to the Start Menu and then clicking on 'My Computer.' You will see your portable device listed as a removable disk in this window.
5. Open a new window and locate your 'Music' folder. With the two windows open (the one for your removable disk and the one for your music), single-click on a song and drag it onto the removable disk icon. A transfer screen will appear that indicates that the music is transferring into the portable device. Continue to click and drag MP3s until you have finished putting your music onto your device.
