How to Download Music From PS3 to PC

This console is capable of playing videos, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, as well as music files. All of these media files can be stored on the PS3 thanks to its large hard drive, and the files can be accessed by navigating through the device, via the Cross Media Bar.
