How to Put Music on PSP Using Windows Media Player

The PlayStation Portable, or PSP, is much more than a portable gaming system--it is a portable media device with many features. If you have a nice collection of media files on your Windows Media Player library, you can transfer them onto your PSP memory stick. By transferring the files from your computer to your PSP, you can listen to your favorite music, watch videos and look at pictures while on the go. The files are transferred onto a memory stick, so be sure you have enough memory before beginning the transfer.
