    Dumb question. Where to get music for new mp3 player

    My youngest wanted a MP3 player for Xmas.

    I don't use them and have no idea how to go about it.

    Where can I get some music to put on it?

    Rip CDs, iTunes, or if they will be mostly using it on your Wi-Fi network and it has app access, get Spotify. The free version is now available on mobile devices.

              oops, it's call auto rip

              Learn More About AutoRip

              Complete your purchase of an AutoRip album to save a free MP3 version of the album to Cloud Player.

              After you complete a purchase of an eligible AutoRip album, a free MP3 version of that album is added to your Amazon Cloud Player library and is available on your PC or Mac computer, or other connected device. Usually this happens right away, but in some cases it can take up to 48 hours after your order has shipped.

                  sure thing, the cloud player works offline also, just be sure the add to cart button for the cd has the autorip logo, like this one

                  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

                  they also have a huge selection of just regular mp3 tracks, you can buy for .99c each and such

                      No troll.
                      I dont' use mp3 players. Ipods or any of that.
                      The only time I listen to music is live in person, or ocasionally on Youtube.

                      Otherwise I don't even listen to the radio. I prefer peace and quiet when I'm driving.

                            I use the audio recorder app on my SG4 while singing in the shower.

                            Tub acoustics are fab.

                                It's copyright infringing, so I wouldn't recommend doing that.

                                As others have said, there is iTunes however you can also use Beatport.com. Amazon in some countries lets you download music.

                                  I went with Amazon. Pretty nice setup they have.
                                  Easy to transfer music too. I like it.

                                      Hard to imagine people still buy single cds/songs with shit like Spotify. Something like $9/month and I have access to just about any music I want. With my entire playlist also on my phone, not to mention can make my playlist available 'offline' so I can listen to it even without service..example: blasting through powder in the mountains..

                                      People still use separate MP3 players?

                                        put me on the record stating spotify sucks asses.



                                        it's plagued with issues. when i want to listen to my music, i don't want to hit the play button wondering if i will be listening to musics anytime soon.

                                          If we are talking about not buying it then why bother your way, better go to music torrents.

                                            Check for online music shops, i bet you can find some real deals and much cheaper than itunes...

                                              I like spotify - listen to it everywhere... Home, car, gym etc. almost any album you can think of is there, it's cheap, you can download music for offline playing etc. no reason to buy music when you can achieve the same thing with a service like spotify that is almost free compared to buying music.
                                              .
                                              Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

                                                You know I have an upgraded version of spotify. Not the premium one but the one that takes the ads out and allows you to keep playing tracks. $4.99 it costs.

                                                Anyway, last time I tried to stream from my mobile it didn't work. It said I needed to upgrade to premium or whatever. Is this a fairly new thing?

                                                  Anyway, last time I tried to stream from my mobile it didn't work. It said I needed to upgrade to premium or whatever. Is this a fairly new thing?
                                                  nope, not new. that's the same sort of thing that happens when i tried it. and their cs contact us is a black hole, i'm still waiting for a response to my attempt to contact them many months ago.

                                                    We used spotify in my gym, all day, everyday with the free version sharing their playlists with us. Never seen any of these issues. Pandora however (paid version) was frequently buffering and stopping and had a horrible selection compared to spotify

                                                        it's plagued with issues. when i want to listen to my music, i don't want to hit the play button wondering if i will be listening to musics anytime soon.
                                                        I use it 14 hours a day on multiple devices (2 computers and iPhone 5s.) Very rarely any issues, maybe twice a month. I'm not saying your issue did not happen, just saying very strange and sounds isolated. You may want to give it another shot.

                                                                    i couldn't take michael buble staring at me from the interface

                                                                    i appreciate the suggestion though!
