How to Arrange Music on a PSP by Artist

You can put music files into the Sony PSP's "MUSIC" folder to use your PSP as a portable music player. You may wish to organize your music files by artist. There is no built-in way to sort your music files by artist on the PSP. However, you can create sub-folders for each artist inside of your "MUSIC" folder and manually arrange your music files by sorting them into the corresponding folder.
