MP3 players give you music on the go
From your computer to a portable device that fits in your hand, MP3 players download, store and play back digital music.

Before you begin…
Unlike a portable CD player, an MP3 player requires communication with a PC to operate. That means any viruses or spyware lurking in your PC can affect the installation of your MP3 player. Scanning your computer before installing your MP3 player reduces the risk of problems.
