How to Download Music on to Your PSP Game Console

by 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 not actually designed for the purpose of playing music. It was created to be a mobile 3D-game machine, a bit like the GameBoy was for the 2D world.

However, very often it occurs that those little technical gadgets get used for other things than what they were origianally designed for.

The PSP is perfectly capable of playing both music and movies and the sound quality is excellent.

It can be difficult to get songs on UMD, which is the PSP media format, but you can easily copy your existing MP3 collection from your hard drive on to your 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.

If you want to do this, you will need a PSP memory card which is big enough to store the music files on, a CD ripping software in case you want to convert CD tracks and a USB cable to connect your computer to your 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 pieces of software like this can also compile a music library on your computer and remember which songs you have on your PSP so you won’t accidentally put them on twice and waste memory.

In case you use one of these pieces of software you only have to make sure that your PSP is connected to the PC and then fire up the program and hit the ’synchronize’-button.

The advantage when your download music to the PSP is that the PSP does not use a proprietary format like the iTunes software does when connecting to the iPod. So while the PSP is certainly not a full-blown music player it is definitely a game console that got into the groove of MP3 tunes.
