Default probably a stupid question about MP3 conversion . . .

Hi all.
Now, I know some of you will fall about laughing at this question, but here
goes . . .

I just bought one of these little MP3 players, but on getting home and
looking at the enclosed instructions, and then doing a search on the web,
I'm still not clear on how to get tracks onto it in MP3 format - unless I
have to re-record everything in that format first.
It has a USB and line-in, so I'm assuming the line-in allows linking to
non-MP3 sources. But of course, there's nothing in the little instruction
booklet.
My web search - I gave up after the first 150 links, which all seemed to be
selling conversion programmes.

So could someone please provide a link that takes an idiot by the hand and
explains things?

the item in question is an "mpman MP-FOL8", 256MB capacity

I really bought it to use as an aid to practicing my Thai pronunciation, and
to use on my next visit to teach over there, but it would be nice to have
some tracks on it in the meantime.

Thanks,
