98069 2002-11-12 08:49:00 I have XP and am just looking at the windows media player and have no idea how to use it. Can I download music from a website to record on my media player or can I just record my CD's on it?
What is a good music website for downloading music?
Help!!!

Type in Windows Media Player Review in your search program, say Google...Then plenty of sites will pop up to help. Article by Colin Stoner is a start...

98072 2002-11-12 11:53:00 Mandy, there are legal issue involved with downloading music. If you want free, legal music, then head to http://www.mp3.com otherwise if you're willing to risk it then download a p2p program such as Kazaa lite, WinMX or do a search for such a program.

In the program you can then look for artist / titles that you wish.

I'm gunna get rapped for this :D

You can theoretically use WMP to download music and copy music off your CDs, there are caveats though, which others here will be able to explain better as I use neither XP or WMP.

98074 2002-11-12 20:22:00 Hello Mandy,

Media player will play music cds you may have, it will play music you may have in a folder on your computer.

It also makes cd's of music you have stored on your computer although for this, you also need a cdwriter installed.

it also acts as a video player for articles you may like to watch on a web site.

while there are copyright issues surrounding the downloading of free songs in mp3 format, it is very very popular. kazaalite, or winimx to name a few, can be downloaded for free. Media player will play these also.

good luck,

Bob
