How to add audio or video to your MP3 player
The audio and
video files you download from iPREPpress are zipped files that end
in extension ".zip". For example, the file may be named
something like "1984 zip file.zip ."
On PCs, you can usually double click on the
zipped folder and then extract and save the files to your computer hard
drive. If not, use a program like WinZip or any other available
unzip programs. Remember where you save
these files on your hard disk.
For
Macs, there is a free program called
Betterzip. Click to download
it.
*To add audio to
your MP3 player, refer to the instructions that came with your
device.
OR
for general information, follow the instructions below:
Locate the
music MP3 files you down loaded to transfer to your MP3 player.
Connect
your MP3 player to the computer using the USB cord. Open the
Windows Media Player program. When you open the program, your
device will be recognized through the "Sync" button on the tool
bar that runs across the top of the page.
Click
on the "Sync" button. To the right a column will appear which says
"sync list" at the top. Below the sync list it will say "Drag
items here to create sync list."
Your library is located in the
middle part of the screen. (Your playlists and library listings
are in a column to the left.) To select the songs you wish to
transfer, simply highlight the files in your unzipped folder,
usually named something like "1984 Study Guide" and literally drag
them over to the listing on the right. When your mouse is over the
column, the text will lighten, and a small box with a plus sign
will appear. When this happens, let up off the mouse button. The
new songs will be listed in the sync lists.
When
you have a listing of all the songs you wish to ad, click on the
"Start sync" button near the bottom of the column. You will be
taken to another screen which will have a listing of the songs you
want to add. The computer will sync the songs to the device.
When
the synchronization is complete, the sync device column will
return to the right of the screen. A message will appear letting
you know that it is ok for you to disconnect your device. When you
unplug the device, the MP3 player should flash a message that
says, "Creating (or configuring) library."
