When you click on an MP3 file you will most likely get a download screen. Click whether you want to download the file now and play it with the MP3 player, or save it until you are off-line. If the file does not load automatically into the MP3 player, open the MP3 player and load the file manually.
You must make audio adjustments, like speaker volume, from your computer and the MP3 player. Some players have playlists.
