Downloading an MP3 thingy to computer without an MP3 player thingy.

[IslaValargeone]

You might guess from the amount of thingies in the title that I am not good with technology. I want to download something, it comes in MP3 form? does that mean I can only listen to it via the computer? Am I able at some point to transfer it onto something else I can listen to more portably?

I got a smartphone and it plays mp3. I also got an Apple iPod. iTunes can import MP3 files and convert it to the Apple format which I think is MPEG4.

Basically, all/most non Apple phones/portable players will play mp3.

Any mp3 player will play it, some cd players play mp3s on a cd, some newer cd and DVD players have USB ports that will play mp3s from a USB memory stick

Thanks.
I only have an iphone, I bloody hate technology, I find it far too confusing

Just put the mp3 in the iTunes library, It'll play on your iPhone

Thankyou soo much.
