How do I get photos and music onto my Sony PSP?

How do I change my regular music to mp3 so that I can download it into my psp? I also can't get pictures into the psp? I have the regular usb cable


Dave's Answer:

It's not too hard to transfer files from your Windows PC to your Sony PSP, but here's the trick: the "PSP Value Pack" doesn't have everything that you need. Not so good. In fact, you'll want to add a larger Memory Stick Duo, for example, because 32MB just isn't much space at all, when you come down to it.

The other missing piece in the Value Pack is the USB cable that lets you connect your Sony PSP to your Windows PC and, of course, vice versa. Fortunately, these are pretty easy to find - anywhere that carries Sony digital cameras should have the right USB cable, or you can try somewhere like Froogle to find a cable. I did a quick search and found this $7.95 cable from one store.

To get everything working, plug the Sony PSP into the Windows PC via USB cable, plug the PSP into the wall, then turn both units on. On the PSP, click the "USB Connection" button (on the Settings menu) and, hopefully, your PC will beep and tell you that it's found a new "removable disk": your PSP.

Using Windows Explorer, find the new PSP device and if there isn't already a folder called PHOTO on it, create one as you ordinarily would create a folder in Windows. Now just drop in any JPEG images you'd like to have viewable on your PSP while on the go.

Music-wise, you'll want to create a folder called MUSIC and drop in MP3 format music files (which means that you can't play music you get from the Apple iTunes Store, for example, because that's in a different format).

I hope that'll get you going with this process. It doesn't seem too hard!

Thank you so so so so much. I used your method to put ,mp3s on my psp and it totally worked. Big thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Tyler at August 3, 2005 2:54 PM

I could not find the windows explorer can u explain what to do if u cant

Posted by: anonymous at August 20, 2005 4:40 AM

Just go to "My Computer" and navigate your way to the appropriate folder. The program that shows you your computer information *is* My Computer. Make sense?

Posted by: Dave Taylor at August 20, 2005 7:02 AM

dave i tried your method on how to download music but it dident work 10mb of memory went how do i get it back.

Posted by: james at September 1, 2005 10:10 PM

In general, if you delete a file or files but the space doesn't return, make sure that you're emptying your trashcan / recycle bin on your PC: It might be marked for deletion but still sitting on the Memory Stick.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at September 1, 2005 11:02 PM

how do you transfer the file because i dont see the mp3 format thing

Posted by: davon at September 11, 2005 11:21 PM

Fantastic - my kids asked me to load some photos and MP3s onto their PSP. After the initial panic subsided I spent about an hour failing to do so. 5 mins on your website and hey presto! Thanks - my kids think I'm a star.

Posted by: Azadar at September 12, 2005 8:46 PM

What i want to know is how you bring up the data folder. I tried going on my computer and nothing happened. We have 2 pcs and, the new one hasnt got much data on it but it brings up the folder so i want to use the old one which doesn't. It would be great if you could tell me thanks.

Posted by: Duke at September 18, 2005 3:35 PM

Duke, please note that without adding some special software the only Windows OS that I know is compatible with the Sony PSP is Windows XP. There is a driver you can download for Windows 98, however, but while I can point to it, I haven't actually tried it because I no longer have a Win98 system in my office.

PSP Driver for Windows 98:

http://win98.drivers.w.interia.pl/psp.html

If you try this Win98 PSP driver, please email me so I can learn more about how it works out for you.

I got as far as making my folder called MUSIC but i am cluless on how to get the music ON to my psp. Please help!

Posted by: veronica at September 21, 2005 12:34 AM

I downloaded music on to my psp but it just says i have less megabytes, but still no music, what did i do wrong?

Posted by: veronica at September 24, 2005 5:26 PM

You probably didn't do anything wrong, Veronica. The key is to realize that all of the music you've downloaded onto your Sony PSP is "hidden" in the "Memory Stick" entry. When you go to MUSIC you'll see "Memory Stick" as the only option. *CLICK ON IT* and you'll see all your music shown.

Posted by: Tommy Martin at September 25, 2005 4:09 AM

We have windows XP on both pcs but is there any way of bringing up the folders manually?

Posted by: Duke at September 27, 2005 9:05 PM

tommy, i went to music and then clicked on the memory stick and it says it is empty and there is no music to play, do you have an explanation for that?p.s. i really want to figure this thing out so i can listen to my music!

Posted by: veronica at September 28, 2005 1:46 AM

I have a problem importing data from the PC to the PSP - I have no probs finding the PSP or the files I create but if I try and import pic's or the 2.0 upgrade I get a error stating "incorrect path" Any ideas ?

Posted by: The Hunter at October 3, 2005 12:16 PM

I have a problem of copying my MP3 files into memory stick duo.
I created a MUSIC folder under PSP folder, and when I copied my MP3 file and try to "paste" into MUSIC folder, there is always an error message that says: cannot copy file... cannot find the correct path...
What do I do with this problem? Am I allow to copy the MP3 music that I downloaded from the web?

Cathy

Posted by: Cathy at October 8, 2005 8:10 AM

More problem:
My copied MP3 files are shown as "corrupted data" on PSP.
Does it mean that my file is no good? or is it a PSP problem?

Cathy

Posted by: cathy at October 8, 2005 8:26 AM

Cathy, if you double-click on the MP3 files on your PC, do they play?

Posted by: Dave Taylor at October 9, 2005 4:37 AM

To Dave:
Yes, if I double click on my mp3 files they can play the whole song without any corruption on Windows Media Player or iTune.
Do you think the problem might be the data rate for the mp3 files?

Cathy

Posted by: cathy at October 9, 2005 3:05 PM

Cathy, try just DRAGGING your music files into it, it worked for me. If it says corrupted data you might not have formatted your memory stick, if you do so, find somewhere to copy it to because it deletes all of your memory.

Posted by: Duke at October 10, 2005 8:57 PM

dave i am only a child but i have done alot of what you have said to do so all the music i want is on the folder you told me to put it on to but can you tell me what to do again anyway but my main quesion is when it is on the folder how do i get it on my sony psp

Posted by: joseph at October 11, 2005 8:52 PM

First, I want to thank Duke and Dave for the advices.
However, DRAGGING my mp3 file is not solving the "corrupted data" problem. My file can only play for 30 seconds.
Any other suggestion?

Posted by: cathy at October 12, 2005 2:38 PM

Cathy have you formatted your memory stick?

Posted by: duke at October 12, 2005 5:56 PM

i put my usb into the computer an i hook it up to my psps but nuthing happens i have had my psp since the day it came out an i cant do anything with it plz help me out :)

Posted by: kyle at October 12, 2005 9:24 PM

To Duke:
Yes, I had formatted my memory stick before I put my mp3 file in it.

Cathy

Posted by: Cathy at October 12, 2005 11:26 PM

To Cathy:
When you disconnect your psp from the PC, do you click on safely remove hardware then on usb then sony psp?

Posted by: duke at October 13, 2005 8:40 PM

Also for Cathy,
I think that you have to right click the icon on the bottom with a green arrow and select 'Safely Remove Hardware'. Then select the one that says USB mass storage device, then click on Sony PSP USB device and click on close.
Just a question, what size is your memory stick?

Posted by: Drew at October 13, 2005 9:14 PM

Thanks everyone for the help that you gave to me.
I finally found what caused the problem after I rang up to PSP technical support center yesterday.
It is the hardware problem, USB cable, although the connection is fine through the cable, but that PSP usage USB cable cannot transfer data correctly (the professional said that is the design problem for the cable).
Once I tried to change the USB cable, the problem solved!!! (curse that cable~~~)

Well, finally I can store the files in my PSP, I am happy about that.

Thank you guys

i have a solution to some peoples problems.
when you put a film on your psp in the MP_ROOT and the other one and it does not show up on your psp e.g "no video files". simply rename your file to M4V00001.mp4 then the next file M4V00002.mp4 and so on i found this works.and the files then play on your psp.

this was done on psp V2.00 on a 128mb duo

Posted by: garrett at October 21, 2005 8:11 PM

Garrett, I believe that the default format the WMP uses is incompatible with the PSP. The PSP can only work with MP3 format music files at this point, as far as I know. I'm planning to write about how to get music from WMP to PSP soon, stay tuned!

i know that u cant get music from itunes onto your psp. if itunes is the only music source i have, can i not get music on my psp?

Posted by: ben at November 10, 2005 12:52 AM

You should understand that there are lots of music formats in use including:
MP3 - DeFacto standard, commercial licence
OGG - Open standard, free to use
FLAC - Open standard, free to use
AAC - Standard, Commercial licence
WMA - Proprietary, commecial licence
ATRAC - Proprietary, commercial licence

(Note that the difference between proprietary and standards based is subtle. I have made the distinction between formats promoted and supported primarily by a single manufacturer, and those promoted and supported by standards bodies or communities of interest.

Also note that commercial licence means you pay extra for using it in some way).

The PSP will only (currently) support MP3 and ATRAC formats. MP3 is the important one. Apple's iTunes doesn't natively support MP3 (it uses AAC by default). Windows Media Player by default uses the highly proprietary WMA format. You have to tell it to use MP3 specifically. This is very important to do.

WMA in particular should be avoided at all costs. If you use this format you will find it is incompatible with most digital music players and you may have to re-rip it. Conversion is possible but degrades the music files.

Always use MP3 for compressed music and you won't go far wrong.

Certainly that is what you need to support music on the PSP.

WHAT ARE THE FOLDERS I NEED TO HAVE ON MY MEMORY STICK AND WHAT ARE THE NAMES

Posted by: ANTONIO PICHARDO at November 10, 2005 5:19 AM

Rather than create specific folders yourself, try letting the PSP format your Memory Stick and you'll find that the folders are automatically created as needed.

i finally figured out how to upload mp3s on my own, but it won't let me put more than 6 songs into my "music" folder. A messages pops up saying "drive disk is full. please insert new disk to continue." I just got my psp, so all I have are those 6 songs. no photos, games, videos, etc. And the 6 songs are not long (3-4 min). Why can't I put more songs?!

~Bobbi~

Posted by: bobbi at November 18, 2005 12:25 AM

Because, Bobbi, you're out of space. You need more space on your Memory Stick if you want to download more music. I have a 512MB card, for example, and it'll hold a half-dozen CDs...

Posted by: Dave Taylor at November 18, 2005 7:05 AM

but how can i be out of space if i JUST got my psp? all i have on it are those 6 songs, and there's no way that memory card can only hold 6 songs. it even tells me that i still have space on the card.

Posted by: Bobbi at November 18, 2005 9:58 PM

The average song takes up about 2-3MB of space on your Memory Card. If you have the default card, it's a 32MB which means it has an effective available space of maybe 27 or 28MB, and that's assuming that you don't have any saved games on it. That being the case, you can easily take 27 / 3 and find out that your rough song limit should be nine songs *if the card is empty*.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at November 19, 2005 2:23 AM

they really rip you off with the default memory card.
so i had to buy a usb cord and, now, a half-way decent memory card. . .

wow, thanks sony!

but seriously, thanks for the help, Dave.

Hi,

How can I copy images from PC to Cybershot S90 Memory Stick PRO?

I have taken a thousands of pictures using my Sony Cybershot DSC-S90. Everyday I copy/transfer these pictures from my memory stick to my PC (i.e. keep backups) and erase all data in my memory stick (sometimes formatting it).

Now, I would like to select some special pictures in my local PC (the pictures that were taken using this DSC S90 camera) and copy these into my memory stick so that I can carry my camera and view/share these selective pictures with my relatives (i.e. by connecting the Camera to their TV).

So, how can I copy some selective images from my PC to my external memory stick? Is there any special software I can use for this purpose? My OS is Windows XP. I tried with Picture Package, ImageMixer tools that came with the CD but these did not fullfill my purpose. I just tried with simple copy-pasted from windows explorer, but when I try to view this from my camera, it says "No files in this Folder".

Whats to do? Please, give me some suggestion.

With Thanks,
M. M. Islam Chisty

Posted by: Taylor at December 12, 2005 6:24 PM

Here's the fix:

You need to provide both power and a USB connection. If you are getting an USB error, and you're running XP, it's because you're not getting enough power through the single USB cable.

Get a second dedicated USB cable, like one for a camera and then use the PSP cable to provide the power.

Combine the two and it works perfectly!

Posted by: Nicholas Chaplin at December 19, 2005 5:03 PM

Nicholas, I'm wondering if your Memory Card isn't completely compatible with your PSP after all. But a first step: let the PSP reformat the card and see what happens. Good luck!

FOR ALL YOU HAVING "CORRUPTED DATA" PROBLEMS:
Jared posted several comments ago to delete the corrupted data and go to your source program, open the files, select "save as..." and browse to the relevant PSP folder and save them that way. This works perfectly...I couldnt save certain pics, but others would...after trying Jareds' method all save well :) Thanks Jared, and I imagine it would work with the files not showing up at All either...the key seems to be to NOT drag and drop...

how many songs can a psp hold?
)im considering buying 1)

Posted by: boop at December 23, 2005 8:24 PM

Well, "Boop", it depends on how big a Memory Stick you put into the PSP. The default 32MB card is barely enough for a single CD (each song is usually 2-3MB) but I have a 512MB Stick that's plenty big enough for 20-30 of my favorite albums, if I were so inclined.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 23, 2005 8:53 PM

I have tried all the things that you have suggested but my PSP still says data corrupted. I dont know if i have to buy a new USB cable or what?

Sorry for the trouble...
Mitchel

Posted by: Mitchel at December 25, 2005 2:49 PM

why does my psp say there are no tracks but ive lost memory ive done evrything youve said

Posted by: chris at December 25, 2005 8:41 PM

Mitchel, if you're seeing corrupted data, first test it on your computer: if you double click no the file, does it work properly? Then you might try plugging your PSP into a different USB port on your computer to see if that works better and, yes, I have heard stories of people who have bad USB cables and fixed corrupt data problems by simply buying another one.

Chris, most likely you either have the music "hidden" in your "Memory Stick" folder under MUSIC: find it, and click on the "X" button to see what's inside. If that's still empty too, then either you have files in the wrong place or are sending over the wrong format files. Note that files in AAC and WMA format generally don't work (theoretically the latest firmware update allows you to play Windows Media Player Audio (WMA) files, but I haven't heard from anyone who has gotten that to work...)

Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 25, 2005 10:51 PM


Hi Dave, we have just purchased a PSP and are trying to download music files to it. So far we can successfully :

connect to PSP from computer
can create folders in the music directory and see them on the PSP
we can copy music files onto PSP folders......BUT on the PSP the folder says 0 Tracks.

Is this something to do with the USB cable ? Or other suggestions ?

Thanks for any help here.

dave, where can i download movies on my psp

Posted by: lou at December 26, 2005 3:07 PM

Seneca, don't use the WMP "sync" capability. Make sure that you have WMP set to create MP3s and copy them manually onto the PSP device and it should work fine. See:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/produce_mp3_files_from_a_cd_with_windows_media_player.html

Lou, I don't offer help for movie downloads at this time.

Posted by: Mitchel at December 26, 2005 8:09 PM

I've followed your instructions (and Sony's) for moving mp3 files to my PSP. The files initially show up in the MUSIC folder, but nothing plays on the PSP. When I go back to view the MUSIC folder, the files are gone. However, the available space on the memory stick is still reduced. I have W2000 on my PC, but I wouldn't think that would matter for moving files between the systems. Any suggestions?

Hi my name is Charlie I have my psp hooked up and ready to go. plugged the usb in and turned usb mode on. My problem is my computer recognizes the psp but it will not download the driver from the xp site. If you could find that driver for me so I could install it that would be awesome. Thank you.

Posted by: ANDREW at December 27, 2005 4:26 AM

Andrew, if you reformat your Memory Stick you *will* lose your saved games, yes. Also, to get more than six songs onto your PSP you'll need to buy a bigger Memory Stick: the default is pretty tiny if you're going to use it for anything real...

Ok, I understand what your saying about the PSP, but at SONY's website, it says that the psp only supports ATRAC 3 and WMA, so I got a whole bunch of wma files and transferred them to my psp via usb cable, but it doesnt recognize any of the music.

All you have to do is download PSP video 9 at http://www.pspvideo9.com/ thats for movies but im having a problem that closes everytime i try to put music on my psp it 'cannot find the specified file'...its really weird

Posted by: Helper at December 31, 2005 4:11 PM

also.....1)no software disk is needed to transfer music
2)Music should probably be in mp3 or wma format (wma needs to verify wirelessly)
3)Photos U just drag+drop
4)If those are not there then make new folders (ie. MUSIC,PHOTO,)
5) I dont think it is possible to transfer stuff from psp to pc back to psp(if u get a new card)

I couldn't find the windows explorer, what do i do?

Posted by: Bruce Leitner at January 1, 2006 12:40 PM

Sure you can, Bruce. It's what you run when you click on "My Computer". You just don't know that's what it's called. :-)

Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 1, 2006 12:41 PM

Thanks so much, i've been up all night trying 2 figure it out, i use itunes for everything so i had to convert the files to MP3s using xilisoft. Thanks Again!

Posted by: Alex at January 1, 2006 6:49 PM

I followed your tutorial for the mp3 download and when I tried to open the tracks on my PSP it said it was corrupted data?

Posted by: JT at January 2, 2006 8:34 PM

JT, if you're seeing corrupted data, you might well have a bad USB cable. I have heard from more than one person that can be a problem.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 2, 2006 9:19 PM

Thanks for the help Dave, just needed direction as to what the exact folder names were. Also, I had more luck getting the photos to recognize after cycling the PSP power after disconnecting the USB cable. Dunno why, as it should have just read them real time. Thanks again.

Posted by: Ryan at January 3, 2006 12:30 PM

Well I'm pretty sure it's not that, because I use it to the photos and it works fine, just the mp3s that don't work

Posted by: JT at January 3, 2006 4:38 PM

what folder do i click on to put videos on my psp?

Posted by: zach at January 5, 2006 2:23 PM

Zach, please see:

Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 5, 2006 2:31 PM

To all that are having the problem with music showing up as "Corrupt Data", here is the reason:

Although the PSP manual says that the MUSIC folder is not case sensitive, it actually is. The folder must be named in ALL CAPS. If it is not, the PSP does not recognize it and shows it as "Corrupt Data".

If your PC is not allowing you to name the folder in all caps, open an Explorer window (or MY Computer).....go to View then Folder Options......Click the View tap, and at the top of the Advanced Settings window, under Files and Folders, make sure "Allow all uppercase names" is checked.

This should solve the problem.

Posted by: Randy at January 5, 2006 4:29 PM

For PSP owners that are using Windows 98, you can connect the PSP to your PC. Here is a link to a site where you can download a driver for a Vivitar V3615 digital camera.....believe it or not, it will work for the PSP because it is a mass storage device driver. I downloaded it and it worked for my PSP and my Creative Zen Nano MP3 Player.

OOPS....forgot the link:

I am trying to put photos, music and video onto my psp, but everytime i turn it on, I get the hour glass but nothing comes up. I don't have windows xp, only windows ME. How do I get my stuff to upload onto the psp through it? Also, i will be purchasing a 4 GB hard drive for my psp at Best Buy within the week so I will be able to put more on my psp when I learn what to do. Thanks

Posted by: Brandon at January 7, 2006 11:50 PM

I'm sorry to report to both of you, Antonio and Brandon, that I don't know of any way you can get Windows ME to work with the Sony PSP device.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 8, 2006 11:59 AM

It says I don't have the driver of the device, can I download a driver or do I have to buy it? Also, if I do have to download it, where do I download it from?

Posted by: chicken at January 8, 2006 6:57 PM

If I already have the USB cable and everything is plugged in and the thing is under unknown device what do I do? What if it isn't connecting? Also, since these things are true, how do I get the driver installed?

Posted by: matt at January 22, 2006 6:32 PM

Matt, you're putting it in the wrong place. The music files should be put in PSP \ MUSIC not in the MP_ROOT folder.

I am having troubles getting MP4 video onto my psp. I can do it through PSP video 9 software when I need to convert it, but when I move a file with the name M4V10014.MP4 thats already in MP4 format to the 100MNV01 folder on my PSP, it says it is an unsupported format under the video tab on my psp. Any thoughts...

What do i do to get that space back. Also, i did not format my memory stick when i got the psp, is that the reason it is doing this?

A good additional article to read if you're having problems with transferring music onto your PSP is this:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/i_cant_get_music_to_play_on_my_sony_psp.html

Photos are quite similar, and JPEG is a particular format for a graphics file that's photo-friendly. It stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", though I'm sure you don't care about that. Just about any graphics program should be able to produce JPEG format files (denoted by .JPG or .JPEG) that'll work fine on the PSP.

itunes music to psp compatible music. all u do edit the music file from "blank".m4a to "blank".mp4 psp is compatible with mp4 and mp3 but itunes has software that causes itunes .mp3 data to be corrupted so mp4 is the way to go plus the music quality is better

mpe4g wont appear in th emusic folder on my psp and on itunes it says its protected how do i take the protection off so i can find it in my music folder on my psp

Posted by: jt2 at February 6, 2006 4:10 PM

Protected files are protected, jt2, because they're under the control of a Digital Rights Management system like iTunes. As far as I know, there's no easy way to "pry them loose" so you can copy them onto other devices.

Posted by: FatKid702.. at February 11, 2006 3:39 AM

I figured it out PPL. You have to create the MUSIC folder in the PSP folder. After I did that the music showed up and played. The same should be done with Pictures, create the folder PHOTOS in the PSP folder. Hope this helps all.

Posted by: Thaistick at February 14, 2006 12:39 PM

GUYS TO GET MUSIC FOR FREE ONTO UR PSP GO ON THE INTERNET ON UR PSP. THEN GO TO "www.dogpile.com" THEN CLICK ON "audio" SEARCH THE SONG U WANT 2 GET. LOOK AT THE RESULTS CLICK ON THE FILE NAME TO DOWN LOAD [MAKE SURE THE FORMAT IS MP3]. GO TO MUSIC ON UR PSP AND HEY PRESTO IT SHOULD WORK!

Westlake

Posted by: sam at February 14, 2006 5:00 PM

Westlake, that's all well and good, but a lot of the material you'd find is likely to be illegal and unauthorized. You might well download that on your computer, but do you really think that these musicians will continue to produce new CDs if no-one buys 'em?

Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 14, 2006 6:15 PM

You guys can not just copy or move files without consent of the software company or the Artist-Producer......even if you do change it the digital signature will be able to checked against a data base.....and I am still researching the data.....but keep it simple....if you wanna use it just ask.....Im sure you can get the rights you need......Trust me on this.....I was the king of file transfer and copyright infringement....and could explain how what I was doing was wrong.....YOU DONT KNOW MORE THAN THEN THE DEVELOPERS.....BUT THEY NEED TO SEE THE RETARD IN EVERY INTELLIGENT PERSON....L@@k...When the unthinkable begins in your head.....then the reality will soon follow....dont think of all the ways out of the box.....is it not eaiser to just not think about going in there....Right?.....does that make cents?

Posted by: Chris Camilli at February 16, 2006 1:01 AM

I really don't believe that's true, Chris. If I can put a CD in my car player or home stereo then what's the problem with putting it onto my Playstation Portable device so I can enjoy it on an airplane? That's "fair use".

dave i done what you said i made a file called music and put it into my removable disk folder and then put mp3 tracks into that folder then i went to my musi on my psp it said there are no tracks what do i do?

Posted by: louie at February 23, 2006 1:26 PM

David, you'll need to export your music from iTunes and make sure it's in MP3 format. I cover that here:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/about_itunes_mp3.html

Jose, you might be running a version of Windows that doesn't support the PSP, unfortunately. It's really designed for Windows XP, sorry to say.

Louie, I'd counsel that you actually reformat your PSP's memory stick with the PSP itself (rather than your PC) then try copying the music into the new MUSIC folder. Beware, though, that you'll lose all your game saves by reformatting, unfortunately. See:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/about_psp_memory_reformat.html

Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 23, 2006 4:42 PM

You must make the MUSIC folder on youre psp within the psp folder already there and transfer the mp3's thru to that inner Music folder.
simple it aint rocket science

Posted by: DEAN THORPE at February 24, 2006 4:59 PM

Posted by: Eddie at February 26, 2006 12:13 PM

Eddie, I don't think you can do that, just as you can't transfer iPod videos from the iTunes store to your PSP. The programs just don't export the video in a usable format. Sorry

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/about_psp_audio.html

Eddie, you are reading too much into my comment. I said that you can't copy the music videos from the Apple iTunes Music Store onto your PSP because of the digital rights management, but if you have your own CDs / DVDs with music videos on them, you can theoretically copy them onto your PSP, though it's not easy. Please see:

Sandra, you need to format the PSP memory stick for all the necessary folders to be created. Be warned that it will delete any game saves you may have, but it'll get your Music folder in the right place! :-)

Hi everyone, I have been pulling my hair out trying to put movies on my psp. I followed all the steps provided by severel different websites and they all were the same. I created a "MP_ROOT" folder on the root menu and a "100MNV01" folder inside that one. I used "PSP Max Media Manager" to convert the files into "MPEG-4" format and even got the "THM" file. I renamed them both. "M4V00001.MP4" and "M4V00001.THM" and unplugged the PSP from my PC and I went to the video menu and it said that there are no videos. The files are definatly on the memory stick because it is taking up space. I am using a 1GB San Disk version. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I created the photo folder, dragged a couple of jpegs to the folder, but it still says unsupported file type. I double checked on properties to make sure they were jpegs, and the PSP recognizes the same number of files I dragged to the photo folder. Stumped.

Posted by: kman at June 18, 2006 6:09 PM

If you want to move photos to your psp you can try Photo to PSP www.phototopsp.com). It moves and (optionally) resizes/crops photos to fit the psp screen, allowing you to store more photos on you memory stick. Its free to try and $15 to buy.

Yo, Everytime I connect my psp to my computer, on my psp it says usb connection, but for some reason the computer isnt picking it up. I have windows 95 I think. But I don't think thats the reason its not working, because its saying removable disc but nuthins commin up. And it won't create a folder for my psp.

Hi, I tried to put music I downloaded from limeware onto my son's PSP. I could see it on the pc ok when I created a folder in PSP called Music and I transfered it over to that folder from my ocmoputer, but when I come out of USB mode and into music folder (memory stick) it says no tracks. I am using Windows Vista, would this have anything to do with it? Many thanks.

Posted by: Theresa at May 2, 2007 2:55 PM

Hey Theresa did you use block capitals for your 'Music' folder? It should be MUSIC and not Music.
That's what I did and my MP3s play fine, haven't tried other formats yet though.. :D

Posted by: Wario at May 3, 2007 4:27 AM

when i connect up the psp with the usb cable and the computer....the psp does not appear in my computer????

Posted by: Sinead at May 4, 2007 9:29 AM

Well you'll need to install the device driver for the PSP to be recognised by your PC.
I use Win98 and installed the driver before going to 'My Computer' which is where the 'Removable device' is located..

Posted by: Wario at May 5, 2007 9:12 AM

i did it finally! all you have to do is format your memory stick,then go to my computer and drag and click its that simple

Whenever i try to download a game on my psp it comes up as "corroupt data" how do i fix it?

Posted by: Jeff at May 6, 2007 12:50 PM

This will sound weird, Jeff, but the problem might well be your USB cord itself. Try another one and see if you get things to work better.

Also I tried to put some pics on and they came out distorted, I've done everything "right", formatting the disc, dropping in the right folder, etc....

hey dave,
i have a cannon camera will the cable for that work for my psp? and what is the cheapest cord for that you have found?

Posted by: alec at September 2, 2007 6:17 PM

In the PSP 3.60 version the "PHOTO" folder has to be put inside the SYSTEM folder and not in the ROOT like the "MUSIC" and "VIDEO" folders. This is due to the latest version having compatability with Digital Cameras.To find the PSP on your computer first make a connection with USB cable and the computer then open "My Computer" and look under Devices with Removable Storage (E:) or (F:). Hope this helps others.

Posted by: josh at October 21, 2007 11:15 AM

Dave

If you've seen this before apologies but I thought I'd pass it on......

I tried to download some photos onto my nephew's new style PSP at the weekend. I followed the instructions in the PSP manual to make a folder called "PICTURE" for all the photos. When I dragged and dropped the photos the PSP could not see them. It seemed odd that the PSP screen said "PHOTO" yet the manual wanted a different name for the folder so I changed it to "PHOTO" and needless to say it worked....this is a clearly a typo and may be causing confusion. Perhaps you might want to put it in the advice above. Cheers dp

Posted by: Dave at October 24, 2007 4:55 AM

Thanks very much, this was taking me weeks to figure out, and now its dead easy

I've been able to put music on my psp but I'm having trouble with puting photos on my psp. I've draged jpegs into the psp/photo file and see that memory has been used. However, when I go to check photo's on the psp it says there are no images. It shows the photos in the psp/photo file and I've been succesfull in adding music so what's the problem? I've read through most of the q/a and I'm still lost. Very frustrating please help...
