New MP3 buyer question

[yalepa99]

I just bought a Sansa m240 mp3. I am not technologically advanced, so I'm trying to figure out how to download music. The instruction manual devotes about 2 lines to the topic. I have it plugged into the USB on my computer, but I have no idea where to go from there. I do have iTunes on my computer that I've been listening to music on. Can I do something with that?? ANy advice for a beginner would be helpful.

Do you mean "download" as in getting stuff from the internet....or "download" as in transfer songs from your PC to your MP3 player?
(just have to ask these things)

You first need to give more info.

1.  What OS are you using?  (XP, 2000, Vista, 98?)
2.  Did the mp3 player come with a CD(s) for drivers/software?
3.  Is the music you already have in mp3 format, or iTunes format?
4.  Just what ARE those "two lines" they tell you?  Might not make sense to you, but it might be step-by-step directions of exactly what you're trying to do and would make sense to someone more technologically inclined.
5.  As mentioned, what do you mean when you say "download"?  Given that you've stated that you're not "technologically advanced", we need to know what you mean by that, since that term has been bastardized by many others to mean anything from reading an e-mail to playing a video to ACTUALLY downloading something to burning a CD (btw, all things that my father-in-law has referred to as a "download")
