Installation of the software was pretty straightforward, you popped the cd in and let the Flash movie play while it installed. There was nothing spectacular here as the main purpose of the software was to allow users to transfer files back and forth from the computer to the player. While the MP3i software included provided some novelties, the ability to add little pictures along with each song as well as lyrics, I found that I prefered using the space for other songs since the player only had 128MB available.
