MP3s can be purchased and then downloaded from the Amazon.com website. Amazon does not have a media player that will sync with an MP3 player and allow you to add the songs directly from the website to your MP3 player. For this reason, Amazon MP3 files must first be added to a media player library that is compatible with your MP3 player. Syncing the device with this software program will let you transfer the Amazon MP3s to the device and listen to that music wherever you travel.

Step 5

Plug the MP3 player into a USB port on the computer using the USB cord that came with the MP3 player. Directions for connecting the cord to the MP3 player will vary based upon your particular MP3 player.
