So you’ve just bought a brand-new MP3 player. We shall understand the basics of establishing a connection between a new MP3 player and your computer.

With your new device, you will need to get some important accessories, such as installation CD, earphones, USB cable, recharger USB cable, etc. Installation CD is necessary for establishing connection between your computer and MP3 player. This CD will help your Operating System in recognising the device (player).

If you’ve Windows 2003 & above, maybe there’s no need for installing anything. In most cases, Windows XP will recognise your MP3 player automatically after you connect it with USB cable. You must have a CD in any case. This CD is also known as User Manual CD or Driver CD.

You must turn on your player and then plug the cable with it. Now, plug the other jack into the desktop. Now the device and PC are connected. If Windows recognise the player automatically, messages like ‘New Hardware Device Found’ or ‘Hardware Installed & Ready to Use’ will appear. After your MP3 is installed, go to ‘My Computer’ & look for the new icon ‘Removable Storage Device’. The icon may perhaps be named after your player.

For e.g. SciFlux MP3 Device or something similar to that!
