My 12 year old got one of these for Christmas .
I know nothing of the MP3 thing. As an old fart I still listen to the radio and CD's (I remember switching from 8tracks to cassette even though it was just a fad
Seems simple enough but what do I need to convert my/his Cd's to MP3 files? Will mediaplayer do it or do I need to get Nero or something? His pc runs XP Home. And I have no experience with the DRM issues so I am not sure what you can and can't do without being told no by the PC. I don't want to have to fight the damn thing.
And as far as downloading music, what is a reputable site that would be easy for him to use and I don't have to fear his PC getting infected from? Something with much Classic Rock / Metal as that's what he likes.
thanks for any help and not abusing old dad to much (I hope)
