Why are MP3 players a cool gadget to own?
Portable MP3 players are the hottest gadgets on the market and for good reason: they allow you to hear all that great music that’s available on the Web and take it with you everywhere you go. Weighing in at only a few ounces, these battery-powered devices are simple to use. Most portable MP3 players come bundled with software including a ripper that allows you to convert songs from your CD collection into MP3 files on your computer’s hard drive and a file manager that lets you organize, store and transfer MP3s from your PC onto the player. First, just download some MP3 files from the Web or rip some tracks off a CD. Once you’re finished, transfer the files onto your portable MP3 player via your PC’s parallel or USB port. Detach the cable, and you’re ready to hit the road.
