How to Store Phone Music on a PS3

In addition to being a gaming device, the PlayStation 3 gaming system also has the ability to play and store multimedia in all sorts of formats. A large hard drive on the PS3 makes this storage possible. With many smartphones also storing music, you can easily transfer these files onto your PS3 as you would a computer. Like a computer, the PS3 is outfitted with a number of USB slots, making it compatible with any USB device.
