Tips

  • The latest firmware for the PSP may support files other than MP3s, including W.M.A or Windows Media Files. Firmware is just the name of the operating system on small computers like your calculator or router.
  • For thumbnails import MP3's into iTunes, right click "get info" and paste a 80px by 80px (approximately) album cover into the "Art" tab/section.
  • You can also play video files on your PSP. Download a PSP video converter (i.e. PSP Video 9) to change your favorite music videos into MP4s.

Warnings

  • Do not trust PSP BLENDER,it is a scam
  • Be sure you have your memory stick inserted.
  • Sometimes the music will not work right if your PSP doesn't have the right version. It MUST be 3.11 or higher. If you can't get to a Wi-Fi source to do that, buy the PSP Media Manager 1.0, off Sony.com or Ebay.
  • Sometimes the computer may not immediately recognize the USB connection to the PSP. You may need to restart in order for the computer to recognize the PSP. This should only happen once.
  • Be sure your music files are in the right place.
  • Be sure your music files are in the correct format. If they are but still do not work, try using a different conversion program.
