Putting your favorite music on the PSP is very simple. You just need to have a “Music” folder on your memory card, you can get the all the proper folders by formatting the PSP or you can just as easily create a “Music” folder using you computer. If you do format remember to back up any important files, you can do this by dragging them on to the desktop computer. Another thing you need is a usb cable to connect the PSP to your computer, you can buy them anywhere that carries PSP. I use my old camcorder usb cable to do the job.
Here are the steps to put music onto the PSP
- Plug the Psp to the computer via cable
- The Psp should show up on the computer as a “Removable Disk” click on it
- Now there should be a few folders on there, find the “Music” folder and click on it, if you do not have a “Music” folder you can create one from the computer and put it in the Psp memory card
- Open the Music folder by clicking it. This is where you put music for the Psp, and you can do that by dragging the your music into the “Music” folder
- Music that you put on the Psp can be in a folder, but the music cannot be in another folder within that folder (sub-folder). If that makes any sense.
Not all music formats can play on the Psp but most will. Here are the supported formats. Enjoy listening to music from the PSP.
- mp3 (obviously)
- WMA
- ATRAC3™
- ATRAC3plus™
- MP4 (MPEG-4 AAC)
- WAVE (Linear PCM)
