How can i transfer songs from windows media to any mp4 player even if not an apple

[chocolate di84]

ipod.? I just brought an mp4 player off ebay and it looks just like an apple ipod but the only thing is i dont know how to transfer my music from windows media player to my player. Do i have to have a certain edition of windows media player? I hook up the usb connection and my player displays connecting to pc but then doesn't do anything. So I tried to copy playlist by selecting copy to cd or device option. Then i select what I want to copy and click supporterd portable devices, ( cause i'm assuming thats what i click on to find my player), but then it always takes me to a website to download stuff that i have no idea what they're talking about. So if anyone out there can please help me it would greatly be appreciated.
