How to Sync Music to PSP

A PlayStation Portable (PSP) is more than just a hand-held gaming device. You can also use the device to watch movies, store and look at pictures, surf the Internet, and listen to music. Its built in speaker system allows you to listen to music with or without headphones. To play music on your PSP, you will need a memory stick.
