Sony PSP, Loading Music Options

[cfaye3char]

I have a sony psp and it works like a mp3 player also but I can't get it to load music. I have it hooked up to my computer and I have done everything I think to get it to work. I am trying to load music that I copy off a CD, thanks for any help

Do you have a memory stick in it?

yes I have the stick and it works but it is a small one I just wanted to try out a few songs so I have the space....

make sure they are .mp3 files going into you MUSIC folder.

Have you formatted your memory stick?
To format, just go to Settings -> System Settings -> Format Memory Stick.

It can only play ATRAC3plus and MP3 music files, but if you've updated to version 2.00 it can also play MPEG-4 AAC (MP4) and WAV music files.

If you don't know how to transfer files:
When the PSP is connected to your computer with the USB cord, on your PSP, go to Settings -> USB Connection, and wait for your computer to detect the PSP.
Then on your computer go to My Computer and click on drive F: or whatever removable disk drive. This should open up a window which shows all the files & folders saved on your memory stick.
To transfer music files, just click and drag your desired (and compatible) music files you want from your computer to the PSP/MUSIC folder.

I hope this helps.

thanks everybody for your help.....question how do I update to the 2.00 version and everytime I try and transfer my music files to the psp music folder I get a error message from windows that says can't locate files, I can't seem to beable to move my music files around. I formatted my memory stick and my computer knows that my psp is there .....also to update I saw where you turn it on and do some stuff by wireless or do you hook it up to the pc to get the update

[magnificentmike]

there are three ways to update:
1. via Network Update, under Settings. (Requires a wireless internet connection.)
2. via USB. download the file from the offical playstation portable website and transfer it to your psp under the PSP/GAME folder.
3. via UMD. new UMDs include updates if it's required to play/listen/watch the UMD.
The update process is the same for all 3.
