OK, there are a couple of ways to download music that vary in difficulty for a non-experience user. The easiest is probably to get yourself a file sharing application like Morpheus, Bearshare etc and do searches using a P2P tool like this. This will build your mp3 collection.

Alternatively, you can rip all your cds using a cd ripper, of which there are many, just look in www.download.com. Next you can use torrents and download whole albums from other users using tools like Bitorrent, which are a good way of getting larger music files.

Next you need to connect up your mp3 palyer. Most players come with software to load and view the music on them, think iTunes for iPod. There are other players though, that just work as a usb disk and allow you to just plug them in to the usb slot and drag and drop the music you want to listen to onto the mp3 disk folder. If it is that type, just go to windows explorer or whatever file system you're using and open the mp3 player, which might me named as a removable disk, select the music you want to copy and just drop it in to the MP3 player. Easy. If its iTunes you should copy it from your music folder into iTunes by dragging and dropping intot the iTunes "Music" directory.
