How to Add Music to a PSP

Sony's Playstation Portable is a device that has many different functions. Not only does it play games, allow you to access the internet, and view photos, it also plays music. The iPod can cost upwards of $400; for less than half of that, you can get a PSP which does everything, if not more than an iPod.
