allshoppedout Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Hi, This might sound nuts but does anyone know of a simple type of an MP3 player that plugs right into the computer hard drive (no cables, no software needed)?? I want to get my BIL a simple MP3 and he doesn't need a 1,000 songs and the easier it is to use, the better.

Not sure about now but DD had a White 1GB that did that. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7942214 Like this!
racerfan Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 THe sandisk mp3's also do that. You can get them at BB.
sirfelix Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Not nuts at all. I hate cables too. There are many mp3 players that plug directly into a USB port. If you have Win XP it will recognize it as a drive, so no software needed.Some examples are the PNY VIBE for one.

Super easy and never had any problems with the player. :)
allshoppedout Posted December 8, 2007 Author Posted December 8, 2007 Wow Thank you all for quick responses! I was under the weather but I am feeling better and headed to find an MP3 this weekend. I know BIL got a newer computer with windows vista, does anyone know if this would be a problem? ~I will try to ask at BB or Walmart, (at this time of year, one can wait a long, long while to get someone who knows what they are doing) but most of you are smarter--so I ask here first :)
scrapwave Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I have Vista on my computer and don't have any problems uploading songs to my Creative Muvo player.
