PSP

Before we begin, keep in mind that Psp cannot play all music formats. The Psp can only play music files that are in following formats :

.Mp3, .Mp4

(The most recent firmware also supports - .Atrac3plus, .Atrac3, .Wav, .Wma)

If you want to play music of a different format on Psp; for example music from your Cd; you'll have to turn it to Mp3 or Mp4 format. Don't worry, I'm going to tell you how to do that as well.

If you have your favorite music files in Psp compatible formats on your computer, you can directly change them to your Psp.

Here's how to do this:

1) join together your Psp to your computer via a Usb cable. Your computer will detect your Psp as a new Usb device ( "Removable Disk Drive").

2) In the "My Computer" you should see a new drive letter for your Psp. Ordinarily it is E: or F: but it can vary depending on the amount of drives in your computer. If you're in doubt, click on the drive letter and it will show its contents.

3) Click on the Psp drive letter to see its contents. It will show Psp folder. Duplicate click on the Psp folder. It will show Music folder. Duplicate click on Music folder to see its contents.

Note - If your Psp Drive doesn't show any content, you can generate a new folder called Psp. Duplicate click on Psp folder and generate a folder called Music. This will be placeholder for all your Music files.

4) Copy the music files from your computer and paste them in your Psp's Music folder. When you're done copying, just take off the Usb association and you're done.

If you want to change songs from your Cd to your Psp, consequent these steps:

1) join together your Psp to your computer via a Usb cable and search the Music folder as explained in steps 1-3 above.

2) You'll need a Cd Ripper software to turn music. There are many Cd rippers available. Download and setup one that suits your needs.

3) Load your music Cd onto the Cd drive. Start the Cd Ripper program and you'll see "Extract and Encode" button. Click on the button and it'll covert and change songs to your Psp. Make sure you select the Psp format. When you're done transferring the files, just take off the Usb association and you're done.

There you are, now your Psp is fully loaded with all your favorite songs and music albums!
