If only it were quite that simple. I was in fact copying MP3 tracks from my hard drive - where I had stored them - to the MP player when it happened.

I have various MP3 format tracks on the hard drive of my PC. Some are downloads from Napster (paid for), some are "free samples" from artists and record company web sites, some came via from YouSendIt from a friend.

I did not use any special formatting at the time I downloaded and saved then, just saved them in whatever format they were in on the web.

Is it the Napster tracks which are in .wmv format? If so are they basically not downloadable to an MP3 clone? That would be disappointing as I paid for them. I do have an iTunes account. Maybe I should use that instead?

On the CD which came with the MP4 player are the following folders: AMV driver, Driver for Windows 98 and Windows Media Player 9. I assume it it this last folder (Windows Media Player) I should install to format the hard drive on the player.

There are no instructions on the CD or in the user guide on how to do this. Contents of the Windows Media Player folder are BDA, BDANT, BDAXP, DirectX, DSETUP.dll, dsetup32.dll, dxnt, dxsetup, ManagedDX, mdxvedist.

Any suggestions on what I do with these.
