Delstar mp3 mp4 player DS-801

Question

HI
we as a family are not familair with the mp3 players have never had one.

the little disk that came with it suggests that it is for windows 98 and is a manual. we have windows XP so we did not think we needed this.

my son has loaded the latest version of windows media player (suggested)and has been pulling some music there but when the delstar is plugged in it just says "connect"
the radio seems to work and he can flip thru the menu ... we are thinking of exchanging it but it is a gift. bso we are trying to work with it and hope you can help.
thanks.

we are not sure how to get it to connect. directions are kinda small and vague to me.
