I just ordered an MPC one and I'm wondering what I'll need to do exactly to take samples from songs in my spotify library or YouTube on my windows pc or my Android phone and get them into the mpc one? I apologize if this post had been made already I looked quickly but didn't see anything.

Spotify songs have DRM built-in and can only be played with a Spotify player, so no - this is not an option. He'll need to sample the old fashioned way, just as the good lord intended.
