I need to find out if there are free mp3 download sites other than spiralfrog. my music gets wiped off my mp3 occasionally and it gets very frustrating to go in and download again

First you download the music from MP3 music sites to your computer, then connect the USB cable to your player and plug the USB cable into the USB port of your computer. The computer will see the MP3 player as an external storage device then copy the MP3 music files from your computer to the MP3 player.

It all depends on how you put it onto the player. Go to my computer, SLY, AUDIO, and then copy paste the music you want onto it. If you're downloading the musice off the internet from a place like spiralfrog.com it won't work because the music has no appropiate license.

Spiral Frog is one example. Limewire is another. I would reccomend SpiralFrog

That's the problem with DRM licensing. Do yourself a favor - only download mp3 format songs to the player, and you will never have this problem. If you want to use SpiralFrog, delete all songs that are on your mp3 player now, make sure your spiral frog sub allows transfer rights, and reload the songs.

Apple and Microsoft have not given them permission to use the files on their device yet. Most music services use DRM-encryption now, but not all DRM-encryption methods are equal. Spiralfrog is allowed to operate because they seek the explicit permission of music companies, mp3 player providers, etc.

read licenses carefully before you pay for any downloads

FROM SPIRALFROG FAQ's:

Please remember that our music files only play if you continue to renew your monthly membership at SpiralFrog. If you renew every 30 days, all the music you download from SpiralFrog is good to go – however, you need to sync your portable devices every month as well in order to update the licenses on the songs you’ve transferred so they’ll play as well.

Spiralfrog uses microsoft plays for sure drm protection.
