You do not need software or special drivers to use the Sansa Connect.  You need a computer running XP or Vista, and an up to date copy of Windows Media Palyer 11.  WMP11 includes a driver, “MTP”, which communicates with the Connect.  From WMP, you can transfer music on your computer to the Connect, rip CD music to your computer, and organize your library.  If you decide to sign up for subscription music services from Yahoo  you’ll need to download (free) a copy of Yahoo Music Jukebox from the Yahoo music site.

Be aware that SanDisk recently released a firmware upgrade that includes the added capability of playing videos on the Connect (along with some other enhancements to the Y! features).  The update will automatically download within 20-30 minutes after you make a successful WiFi connection.

Sansa has some videos that should help you get started using your player here:
