Windows Media Player (WMP) not only plays music and video but also lets you transfer music from your computer to an SD memory card. After you upload your favourite artists, songs and playlists to an SD card, you can transfer them to another computer or play them on a portable media player or cell phone.

Plug an SD card into the memory card slot on your computer. Memory card slots are generally located on the front or side of the machine, depending on whether you are using a desktop or laptop. If your computer does not have a memory card slot, connect an SD card reader to your computer, then plug the SD card into the card slot on the reader. If you do not have an SD card reader, purchase one from an electronics store. SD cards may cost from £6 to over £32 (as of 2010), depending on the type.
