MP3 players may be portable, but you have to use a computer to put music on them before they can be taken out of the house. Setting up an MP3 player on a Macintosh computer only requires using a syncing program that is compatible with the type of MP3 player that is going to be used. There are different syncing programs to use, depending upon the type of MP3 player that is connected to the Mac. None of these MP3 syncing programs are complicated to use, and once the syncing program has transferred the music desired to the MP3 player, the MP3 player can be taken away for listening to. Attach one end of a USB cable to a MP3 player and the other end to the USB port of the Mac. Wait for the icon of the non-Apple MP3 player to appear in the MP3 syncing program’s “Devices” column. Click once on the icon of the non-Apple MP3 player. Drag the songs you want to put onto the non-Apple MP3 player into the center column of the MP3 syncing program. Press the “Transfer” or “Copy” button on the MP3 syncing program to copy the songs from the Mac’s hard drive onto the non-Apple MP3 player. Quit the MP3 syncing program when the songs have been copied. Drag the icon of the non-Apple MP3 player to the Trash. Disconnect the USB cable from the non-Apple MP3 player and from the USB port of the Mac. Attach one end of a USB cable to the Zune MP3 player and the other end to the USB port of the Mac. Run the Zune software. Wait for the icon of the Zune MP3 player to appear in the left side of the Zune software. Click once on the icon of the Zune MP3 player. Select the “Add” tab and navigate in the window that appears to the song you want to transfer to the Zune. Click once on the song (hold down the “Shift” key to select multiple songs). Click the “OK” button to close the window. Click on the “Transfer” button on the Zune software to copy the songs from the Mac’s hard drive onto the Zune. Quit the Zune software when the copying is done. Quit the Windows emulator. Disconnect the USB cable from the Zune MP3 player and from the USB port of the Mac. Drag the songs you want to put onto the non-Apple MP3 player into the center column of the MP3 syncing program.
