Music transfer

You can add, organize and manage songs in your playlists using Windows Media Player 10. For more information, see Windows Media Player (WMP) Help on your computer.

TIP We recommend that you always use Windows Media Player to transfer music to your player. However, if you prefer to use Windows Explorer, always make sure that you copy your music into the Media > Music folder, otherwise the songs will neither show nor play on your player.
