mp3's in new zealand

[zippimom]

I bought 2 mp3's for christmas presents, I was going to send them to new zealand. Will they work with computers there. I think they are on 240 power.

Erm....mp3s are a file format...anything in that format will work on any computer with the proper decoding application installed (winamp, sonique, kjofol, more recent windows media players, and a host of others).

Are you possibly thinking of some type of hardware?

I imagine you mean portable mp3 players.

Just check with the manufacturer, the only issue would be with the AC power you would be connecting to. As far as the computers go, your mp3 players should work with any that will run the software. As far as AC power goes, Radio Shack has converters that can adapt from whatever power (and plug shape) they have in New Zealand to whatever power you need for your players. Or you can probably just run them off of their batteries.

So the short answer is yes, they will work.

Edit: I see in your profile that you live in Houston. I moved from there about 1-1/2 years ago, it's way, way, too hot there for me! I lived out in Cypress for about 5 years.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure that you would be able to connect mp3 player to the computer because of the difference in power.
