Well, if your "any PC" is running Windows 95 you'll have to install some
software first, but that's picky. :-D

Well, that has nothing to do with how you got the files there in the
first place. You'd have to ask the people who make it. I would presume
there is a little display and some control buttons on the player. Or
maybe they let you edit a plain text file that has a magic name, like
playlist.txt, and transfer that. They did say "music or *data* files".
