Is anyone savvy with transferring music from/to mp3 players?

I have my brother's old RCA lyra mp3 player with tons of songs on it. I need to get those songs from there onto a new ipod. Neither unit is mine, thus the songs are not on my computer. I have itunes loaded onto my computer since I have my OWN ipod.

I plugged the rca player into the computer and it asked me which program to use? I clicked Music Match Jukebox, but I cannot get the songs from there into the Ipod.

Help?

Paulette,

I am going to move this post to our TC (The Cafe) board. I think you will get better response there.

An iPod can only be linked to one computer at a time. IF you are successful in getting the music off the Lyra (which I don't even begin to know how to do...lol) he won't be able to use it with another computer once you link it with yours.

You might be able to view the Lyra's contents in MYComputer and possibly drag the mp3 files into a folder. Then import them into iTunes.

Hope this helps

Hey, thanks all.

I finally tracked down the neighborhood 12 year old boy. He came over and had the files transferring in 20 minutes!

The key was, you had to set up another user in Windows XP. We had one user, dh and I, since we are just two of us. He set up another user, my brother, then a new Itunes popped up, empty, with no songs. He dragged the songs from the Musicmatch juke box into the new Itunes.

I would NEVER have figured that out!
