How Do I Transfer Music From My PC to My PSP?

The PSP is more than just a hand-held gaming device. You can use the PSP to surf the Internet, watch videos, look at pictures, watch UMD movies and listen to your favorite music. Put all of your favorite media on the PSP by transferring it directly from your PC. Then, you'll have it at your fingertips no matter where you are. You won't need to carry around a separate MP3 player if you transfer your music onto your PSP.

  Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable. Insert one end of the cable into the PSP, and the other end into a free USB port on your computer. If your computer doesn't recognize the PSP automatically, activate the USB connection by selecting "USB Connection" from the PSP's main menu.

  Double-click on the PSP removable drive. Look for the "Music" folder and double-click on it to view its contents. If there is no "Music" folder, right-click on a blank space inside the main PSP directory folder and choose "Create New Folder," then name the folder "MUSIC." Use all capital letters so the PSP will recognize the new folder.
