You should already have an MP3 player, it will prompt you to download a codec if required.
yeah i understand about loading it for a dual boot but like i said i need to get more familiar with it. If you dual boot you are either or in the OS choice correct? In other words if i boot to Linux i will be in Linux and visa versa correct? I like using both at the same time.

If i plug in my MP3 external personal player can i get MP3's off of it and play them or using a USB thumb drive to transfer MP3 to the drive and play with Linux MP3 player with VMware? Or do i need to install it on a HDD to do that?
