Most computers have USB, but if you've got an old clunker you'll need to check. The transfer is assisted by iTunes. iTunes is a program available for Windows, and Macintosh computers. You should be able to connect an iPod to either a Windows, or Macintosh computer, and transfer music from your computer to your iPod.
The iPod plays MP3s. I guess that makes it an MP3 player. It can do several other things depending on the model you get though. It plays several other formats of music, such as AAC, which is -apparently- higher quality sound than MP3, although only slightly.
You can also get multi-function MP3 players of other kinds which are not iPods. Most MP3 players will play other formats, and many will allow you to use them as 'flash memory' (Kind of like a USB floppy disk).
So simply; the iPod is an MP3 player, with extra features.

Well i have an ipod but i think mp3 players work the same way. For an ipod it doesnt matter what type of ocmputer you have but you have to have itunes and in yrou manual that comes with your ipod it tells you exactl;ey how to add songs. first you plug it in to the cord that comes with it. you plus one end into the mp3/ipod and the other into the computer than you go to you music folder. and itunes shoudl ome up after you plug it it and thenyou drag the songs that you want into you itunes folder and then they will cpoy onto your ipod. hope thats clear enough if its not you cna im me on catieebabyy if you have any questions/ Thankss hoped i helped
