You may not be aware, but your Sony PSP is capable of playing both MP3 (Music) files,
and MP4 (Videos). This makes it a tremendously flexible piece of
hardware, and it's this that makes many Ipod owners jealous!

Transferring things onto your PSP is a piece of cake, providing they are in the
correct format. The PSP itself behaves quite a lot like a PC, so if you
connect it to your PC with a USB cable, you can transfer files between
the two, just like you would with a flash drive or any other removable
media. It's literally a case of using the PC to copy and paste the
files, or even right clicking on them and using the "Send" command to
send them over to your little PSP. This will work with just about all
kinds of file, just make sure it's a file that the PSP supports or the
PSP won't know what to do with it once it gets there!

You can also transfer music from your CDS, but it's not quite as straight
forward. The transfer part is exactly the same, but before you can
transfer the songs you will need some kind of CD ripping software to
pull the songs from the CD and store them onto your computer. Just do a
Google search for "Ripping Software" and you should find what you need.
Once the ripping software has worked its magic you should be left with
some music files that you can transfer over to the PSP like before.

The only other major place to get music for your PSP from is from Apple's
Itunes website. It's possible to do but it's a little too complicated
for my liking, so I don't do it too often, but here's how if you want
to try it. First of all just download whatever you want from Itunes
onto your computer. Next you will need to get some PSP video convertor
software, because the Itunes sites holds its songs as MP4s, which is
often associated with video. Once you find your software, run the MP4s
through it and convert them into MP3 format. As soon as they are
changed over to MP3s, you can begin transferring them directly over to
the PSP via the PC, just like before.
