Downloading Music to your PSP
Jake Robertson
Now that people know how easy it is to download music on to their PSPs, a lot of them want to do it.
The Sony PSP was originally created as a mobile 3D-game machine, like the GameBoy was created as a 2D-gaming device. It was not designed to play music.
It happens quite often however that these technical gadgets get used for other things that what the original creators had in mind.
Actually the PSP game console is able to play both music and movies and the sound quality is very good.
While it is not common that songs are being sold on UMD (the PSP media format) you can easily take MP3-songs that you already have on your hard drive and copy them to the PSP.
If you want to put audio CD tracks on your PSP, you will have to convert the music first, by transferring it on to your PC, and then move them on to your PSP.
Here is what you need: a PSP-memory card large enough to store the music files, a USB cable to connect the PSP to your computer and a CD ripping software in case you want to convetr your existing audio CD collection to the PSP.
There is also software available to will do everything all at once: This means extracting the music from your CDs, converting them into the PSP format and then transfer them to the PSP.
Some of these programs are also capable of compiling a music library on your PC and remember which songs have been transferred to your PSP so you won't store anything twice.
If you want to use a program like this, you just have to ensure your PSP is connected to your computer, start the program and hit "synchronize". That's how easy it is.
The best thing about downloading music on to your PSP is that it doesn't have a proprietary format, like the iPod with iTunes. While the PSP was not designed as a music player, it is definitely handy to be able to enjoy your MP3 collection on your game console.
