I have a mp4 player and I was told to go to windows media player, go to sync, and click drop and drag the music from there but its not working.. anyone know step by step instructions?

Most MP3/4 players are just fancy flash drives with audio/video capability. MP3's can be added by simply copying or moving the file to the player, by using "my computer". When you plug the player into your computer, it becomes an additional hard drive. Go to the folder containing the music, and highlight the song. Then right click on that song and select "copy". Then right click on the new hard drive, (the player). And select "paste". This will move the song. MP4's, on the other hand usually need to be converted to a (.AMV) file before transfer.
The driver should have been included with your player, but you can search several freeware/shareware sites for one if you don't have it. When you convert the file, (At least on my Delstar), it moves it automatically to the player.

Hopefully this is of help.

Oh, BTW, since it is a flash drive I keep an updated copy of my resume on it at all times, so that if the need arises, I can print it out right there. You never know when a job opportunity will come up!
