MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format.You can download mp3 music files from the Internet toyour computer and then copy them to your MP3 player.For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs tomp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and thencopy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable tothe MP3 player and the computer.

All the best to you my fellow PSP enthusiast.

I had TouchCopy recommended to me for that on Apple support communities, worked really well.

You need a memory card for your psp, as well as a usb cable....plug the usb into your pc and go to system settings in the psp and turn on usb mode (your computer should recognise the psp as an external drive in the MY COMPUTER window) open the drive. Open the file called PSP and look for a file called MUSIC, open it then copy your music files to this folder......If you do not see a psp file on the memory stick duo just save a game to it from the psp.....this will create the folders you need, then repeat my instructional...Good Luck

In order to play music in the PSP, the songs have to be in mp3 format other formats do not work with the PSP.If you do not have songs in mp3 format,you can download mp3 songs from www.beemp3.com. Once you have downloaded the songs save them in your computer and plug in your PSP.Then drag or copy and paste the songs to the PSP memory stick in the music file.
For pictures,choose the pictures that you want to transfer to your PSP and drag them to the memory stick in the picture file

try NOT going through media player as it tries to convert any audio. keep your files as mp3. preferably stored in "My music" file on your computer. then when you connect your psp via USB go to "open folder to view files" then open psp/music file. leave it open and open a "My computer" window my documents/my music, then just click and drag to psp/music file.

Follow this steps to transfer music on PSP:

1. Insert a Memory Stick into the Memory Stick slot in the left side of the PSP. Depending on how much music you want it to hold, you may need to get a larger one than the stick that came with your system.
2. Turn on the PSP.
3. Plug a USB cable into the back of the PSP and into your PC or Mac. The USB cable needs to have a Mini-B connector on one end (this plugs into the PSP), and a standard USB connector on the other (this plugs into the computer).
4. Scroll to the "Settings" icon on the home menu of your PSP.
5. Find the "USB Connection" icon in the "Settings" menu. Press the X button. Your PSP will display the words "USB Mode" and your PC or Mac will recognize it as a USB storage device.
6. Create a folder called "PSP" on the PSP Memory Stick (if there isn't one already) -- it shows up as "Portable Storage Device" or something similar -- (you can use Windows Explorer on a PC, or Finder on a Mac).
7. Create a folder called "MUSIC" inside the "PSP" folder.
8. Drag and drop image files into the "MUSIC" folder just as you would save files in another folder on your computer.
9. Disconnect your PSP by first clicking on "Safely Remove Hardware" on the bottom menu bar of a PC, or by "ejecting" the drive on the Mac (drag the icon into the trash). Then unplug the USB cable and press the circle button to return to the home menu.

Hope that helps........

conenct the PSP to USB and then set it to USB mode.

access your "my computer" then clcik on the PSP icon on your my computer screen

you will be able to see folders in there, one is music, just copy the music file from your computer then paste it in the "music folder in the PSP.

easy. plug in the USB cable into your PSP and the other (big) end into your computer. on the PSP home menu, go all the way to the right and select USB mode. YOU NEED A MEMORY CARD INSERTED. click open and explore files if somthing pops up on your computer. if not, go to my computer, then memory stick K (or what ever letter your compute shows). then if its not already there, make a new folder and call it MUSIC

then drag and drop / copy and paste your songs into that folder.
