OT....MP3 for the compleat idjut....can ya help THIS idjut out?

OK...the kids just got some MP3 players....I assume that you can jin a subscrition service, download music to your computer, THEN to the MP3 units....

Is it THAT simple? What am I missing, what should I avoid?

If they play WMA/DRM files it's technically not an mp3 player.

mp3 and wma are file formats.

For a service try napster.com

Ended up trashing RealPlayer and downloaded the Windows Series 10 player....excellent.

Napster only works with Napster players. Walmart.com has the cheapest downloads, but they do have artist restrictions.

If you really have MP3 players, you can get WMA to MP3 conversion software. Or you can make a CD and then rip to MP3.
