Copy Music to an MP3 Player in Windows 7

1. An MP3 is a music file. An MP3 player is a portable music player which plays MP3 music files. You can copy tracks from your Windows 7 music library to an digital MP3 player. That process is known as syncing. To open the Sync pane which is in the Media Player Library, click the Sync tab on the right. You can also create a list of tracks to sync to your MP3 player.

2. Now, connect your digital MP3 player to your computer by using the USB cable that came with your player. Some digital MP3 players connect to a separate dock that’s connected to your computer. Some digital MP3 players connect wirelessly. the first time you connect a device to your Windows 7 computer, you may see two brief pop-ups because Windows 7 installs a driver for the device the first time you connect the device. After a few minutes, the MP3 player will appear at the top of the Sync pane. If the MP3 player already has some tracks on it, those tracks are listed in the Sync pane.

3. You can add more tracks, albums, artists, genres or playlists by dragging and dropping the files into the Sync pane’s sync list. If you want to rearrange them then you have to drag tracks up and down in the sync list.

4. To delete a track from the sync list, you need to right-click it and select Remove from List. If you want to start over from scratch then click the Clear List button at the top of the Sync pane.

5. If you want to see the amount of space used and the free space left on your MP3 player, then you can see this in a bar graph.

6. Now click the Start Sync button when you’re ready to copy tracks to the MP3 player. A progress bar and percentage shows how much of the sync is done.

7. A Sync completed message appears in the Sync pane when the sync is done. You can then disconnect your MP3 player from your computer or laptop.
