Sony PSP to Windows: Download Photos and Music?

I just want to say your article was so very easy and MUCH more help then the people at the game stores, and the help desk at Sony. I have been fighting all weekend with the books to figure this PSP out, and wondered " Did I buy another dust collector to hide in the closet from my hubby? " Well the answer is no, after reading your article and following the instructions I am safe from DIVORCE. Now I need help with getting past a stage on Ridge Racer, or some hints, so I must go look.. Thank you for your HELP....

Thanks Bonnie. In terms of Ridge Racer, well, I can consistently get through the first three tracks, then I don't seem to have the steering skills to get beyond it. Yet. :-)

i havnt got a psp yet cos up here in the uk there not released until the 1st of september we always get things last anyway i do like how uve left the guide and i am goin to leave it minimized until i get the psp to help me get files onto my psp. so ill say thanks now because i will use it.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hm... I bought a PSP just a little while ago, its version 1.52 (Im going to upgrade as soon as the 2.0 US version comes out). The first time i used it, it was on a windows ME and it worked great. I brought it home and i couldnt make it work on my windows xp home edition OR the xp office, but i could get it to work on another windows ME and my brothers win 98 (ps. i used the SAME usb cable every time). Everytime i plug it in to my xp home or xp office i get the same message saying that "the device is not recognized" or "device has malfunctioned" and i get a nice window with all my usb ports and one of them saying "unknown device". I don't get it, iv heardor PSPs not working on win 98 before, but mine wont work on xp!!

My brother's PSP version 1.52 has the exact same problem.

Hi thanks for showing me how to download photos and music to my psp, all i need to know now is if i can download games onto it. do you know?

i got a psp and the duo is 1.0 gb. i know that you can download music onto it but i just dont know how. can you please help me?

hi i accidentally deleted my "PSP" folder and i dont know how to get it back could you tell me.

P.S. that article was great :)

Rennoc, addressed that as an entirely new article here at Ask Dave Taylor because it comes up with some frequency in my mailbag. Please go to:

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

does anyone got a driver for the psp to connect it to a windows 98 computer whit an usb cable because i want to put photo's and lots of other stuff on it

i found one but i must pay for it. i just want one for free.

U helped me out alot but i still dont get how to download the music onto my psp. the folder is madei just cant download for some reason thanks for all your help write me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how are you supost to download music on psp?

i dont have a drive g: and when i go to usb mode nothing pops up to install it what do i do?

As far as I know, the PSP is only compatible with Windows XP systems: on other systems, even when you put the PSP into "USB CONNECT" mode (you did that, right? And plugged the USB cable into both the PSP and your computer?) nothing happens.

I haven't tested it, but there is a chap who advertises a Windows 98 driver for the PSP that you can try:

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

If someone does try it, please do report back what kind of results you had with this driver.

i did all the following:
1. turned on psp and computer
2. plugged in the usb cable to psp and computer
3. went into usb mode
and nothing happend.

p.s.- id o have windows xp and i also am srry for gettin back late

ill answer be checking in tommorow

i can not listen to mp3 files downloaded to sony psp. followed instructions and when i go to music file it says no tracks listed, What did i do wrong. please help

Make sure, Arielle, that you look *inside* the "Memory Stick" folder on your Sony PSP: the songs don't show up under MUSIC, but under that folder within the MUSIC folder.

I got a new computer and want to copy the songs from my PSP to the new computer. How do I get around the message 'The selected tracks originated from another computer'?

HEY UR ARTICLE WAS GREAT HELP ME ALOT THANK U VERY MUCH,BUT I DO HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM HOW DO I DOWNLOAD VIDEOS OR RECORDED CLIPS ON THE PSP WELL GET BACK SOON ..DANNY

I connect my PSP to my system, and in the tray, it says something along the lines of "PSP Variant 1", or something, but it doesn't install any drivers to make it work properly. The system recognizes it when it's plugged in, but I can't access the stick from the PC. Running Windows XP Home.

Very weird, Hypaxion. Sounds like you have the wrong driver, but I can't imagine where it came from? Have you added new drivers to your system??

I bought a PSP the day it came out. I wanted to put pictures and games in it but I don't know how! The main reason I wanted one was to be able to play and listen to music on the same portable devuce. But now that I have one, I don't know how to put music in it. Please e-mail me so I can enjoy my PSP!

i need help.. so if you allready tryed to put pictures onto your psp and it didn't work., you cant do it agin?? help me out... am i wrong.. what do i do?

i need to format my memory stick pro duo but i already have saved data on it and i got really far on games and to be able to get stuff on my psp i have have the data deleted so i can format it

Lewis, you can't save some of the data and delete everything else, as far as I know, though you can experiment if you want. See if you can find the save files on the Memory Stick when your PSP is hooked up to your computer, copy the save files, reformat your memory stick, then copy the save files back. Theoretically should work...

need help... when i connect the cable to my computer and the psp nothin happens...

~~~~~~~~
Does the model depend..if you can put music in it... i have psp1001.

Dave, I took your advice and successfully put mp3 files onto my psp, but is there a way to put music videos from Itunes onto my psp. When I tried to drag my music videos from Itunes onto a folder there was no VIDEO folder. Is there a different way to put music videos onto my psp or is it just no possible.

As you surmise, Andrew, there's a completely different technique for adding video to your PSP. Please see:

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

Also, "Who?", if you're running an OS other than WinXP or Mac OS X, you're basically on your own in terms of getting it to work. Otherwise, it should work once you remember to put the PSP in "USB CONNECT" mode once it's hooked up.

I have Windows ME on my system at home and it does not recognise the PSP ? Also after calling Microsoft twice trying to get some help ( and didn't !! ), I am still stuck with being unable to make my PC recognise the PSP. Can anyone help with any required WIN ME drivers or step by step guide .....

how can i download music i really need help

I think that I'm in the same boat as Patrick Van Laere, and i also have a ME

i know how to synchronize music onto my psp using media player 10 but when i look on my psp its saying no tracks although the memory has gone down my daughter says that maybe i need to change the format.Also when i look in the music folder for my psp its showing the songs i have synchronized.could you please tell me what i am doing wrong as i have been trying to do it since the 25th december, thankyou debs

Patrick and Frederick, I'm afraid I don't know of any PSP drivers for Windows ME, so you might be out of luck. :-(

Debra, I bet you still have WMP set to rip and save your audio files in "WMA" format, which isn't what you want. See my recent article on setting Windows Media Player to produce MP3 files (which are compatible with the PSP):

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

hey dave i have a question, everytime I plug in my usb cable to my pc and psp, i get this window that pops up with 5 options that have nothing to do with what i want. i cant get my pictures into my psp. i need help BAD. i've tried everything u said but i just cant get it to work for me. plz help me!! thanks!

Ismael, sounds like your system is configured to run a photo capture program each time an external device is connected. Darn tedious. Can't you just quit the program or even just ignore it? Then go to My Computer and find the PSP device?

I purchased a USB made specifically for PSP's. Everytime I insert it into my Windows XP computer, I get the following message: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message. Pleaseeeeeeee help meeeeeeee.

I get as far as finding driver G but when I try and send a pictures there it give me a message saying cannot find specific file, make sure you specify the correct path and file name. Can you please help me with this. Its a big headache.

yeah u can ignore it but u know how your supposed to find 4 folders on your psp that say music photo and so on? well i only have 2 folders that say "save data" and "system". when I copy photos in EITHER of those two, my psp seems to be saving them, but i dont see them anywhere.

Jodi, try plugging the cable into a different port and, if possible, plug the PSP into a different PC too, just to compare what happens.

Gabriela, does your PSP show up on your desktop as "G:" then? And what do you see when you go inside it?

Finally, Ismael, you need to reformat your Memory Stick on the PSP itself (which, unfortunately, will lose all your saved games) so all the proper folders are created in the right order. Make sure you do the format *on the PSP* not on your computer.

Dave,

Great site and advice!!

Just purchased yesterday and had installed a sweet Eclipse Fujitsu Ten CD8445 in my Expedition http://www.eclipse-web.com/cd/cd8445.html car stereo receiver. Already even have my Sirius configured. It has a slot behind the front panel for the memory stick and can play and read WMA or MP3 files. Purchased a 1GB sony type memory stick today by Lexar at Wolff Camera here in Memphis. Now, I have maybe 700 I-Tunes on my pc. Question - seen your articles abot importing songs and getting them to format as MP3 vs WMA or i-tunes format and how to burn them on cds as MP3s.

How then do I take all these I-tunes formated files in the various folders and burn them directly to the memory stick - skipping the cd step? Seems I-Tunes only wants to burn them to my cd burner and nowhere else. May be a silly question but hopefully I don't have to burn to CDs first and then drag from the CDs to the memory stick as will take forever and what a complete nightmare. Is there not a more direct method? Know Apple is big on the song burn limit thing. My library is legit paid for and personal use only and no trouble on burn limits for me yet but I really want to max out the 1GB stick with as many I-Tunes as I can cram on it and stop messing with the CDs. I'm running XP home right now and latest version of I-Tunes. Have a Belkin high speed 8 in 1 media reader/writer on a USB cable to my pc. Help !!!! and Happy New Year!

Deleting ALL MY DATA?! lol so if i buy a new memory stick and reformat that, I'll get all 4 folders?

oh hey dave nevermind, i did what u said and it worked. Thanks for everything!! just one more question though, does a "video" folder have to come up? Because instead of a vido folder i go one that says "common", is that the same thing?

Working with video is quite a bit more tricky. Please see:

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

for more information and details.

Dave I have another question. i have this 512MB memory stick in my psp and I've only put 25 songs in there and it says theres only 15MB left?!! WHAT HAPPENED???

Saved games can take up a LOT of space on your Memory Stick, actually, so is it possible that's what is eating up your space?

i found out why i only had 15MB lol, but i still dont get one thing, all i have on my 512MB stick are 32 songs now, and the memory says it has like around 150MB. why did it take so much space, i am sure i have nothing else on my memory stick in the psp AND PC. i dont know what is causing so much memory loss from just having songs.

i need full instructions on how to work with macs!!!!!
with out buying any thing!!!
and does it work with iTunes

hey i got just one question and one comment. question:how and which folder do i use to put videos in. if you can anwser that that would be a great help to me. comment: you are smart...

i have the g drive but i don't have the photo folder or music folder. what should i do?

You steps to downloading things were so easy and they made sense after hours of searching in th PC for help. Thank You sooo Much!

after i clicked the psp folder there were only 2 folders "SAVEDATA AND SYSTEM"

Ok, Ok - I have mastered the art of music. But is there anyway I can get ripped music video's off my disk. I have copied them to almost everyfolder and nothing happens but memory is used? Is It Possible for me to put music video's on my psp?

Jack, please see:

How Do I Get pictures On My PSP? I have Windows 2000 but when I plug my PSP in nothing pops up.

Ismael, check out this link:

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

Be warned that the PSP is very fussy about what videos it'll play and I've had lots of problems getting it to like my downloads.

Ty, Windows 2000 doesn't support the PSP style of removable hard disk, so I'm afraid I don't know how you can proceed other than to upgrade to Windows XP.

I followed your steps as they say, but the names of the CD come up and next to it says 0 tracks which I have 14.HELP ME!

Do I need anything for my memory stick duo? Like something to insert?

dave were do i see were i can listen to the songs because when i look it says no tracks found i wanna kill my psp please help me.

Hey dave this tip is not working for me. My PC keeps saying "USB device not recognized" What am i doing wrong?

Thank you so much! I have tried so many websites to try and do this and this site ACTUALLY worked. I was so glad to actually be able to do something with my PSP. At first, it was useless until I came here. Thanks SO much.

I'm just wondering, where do you download music for free and you don't have to sign up for anything and pay? Because I can't figure it out.

seadog0125, if you have a EB games or gamestop video game store around somewhere, go ahead and look there. Also, one small one with a B cord attatched to it came with it inside the box.

Lewis, how did you get songs on your PSP?!?!?! I cannot figure out how to do that without paying or doing anything stupid like that! Please help Dave or anyone else!

Hi I cannot load the fasttracker v7.0 I get an error message. Now what? Help''''''''

I was wondering if it was possible to put videos purchased on iTunes on your psp. If you drag and drop, the psp says the data isn't supported. I tried transcoding it through psp video 9 and it didn't work.

When I Copy and Paste my mp3 music files onto the PSP MUSIC File, there is a message saying:

" Cannot Copy ( Song Title): Cannot fing specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name."

Whats wrong?

I didn't know I had to format my memory card in the first place, and I have a bunch of save files for my games and when I go to format my memory stick, it tells me I have to erase everything on my memory stick. Can I copy all the saves on my psp to my comp and then put them back on and have them there because I don't want to lose all my process. Thanks for your help.

Thats all very fine and dandy, but my PSP says that formatting my PSP will delete everything on my PSP, and I have Daxter at 98%, Pinball Hall of Fame with everything unlocked, and ATV Offroad Fury 15% complete! What now??? Can I copy my data, and how?

can you put gif on the psp?

When I connect a device to USB 2.0 port it says the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have the latest drivers installed for my USB 2.0 card though.

i need to know what a memory stick pro duo is and how to get it, please help me! I have a USB cord and I have already tried to put music on it and it keeps sayin not enough memeory on it

Hi Dave ive had a psp for a while now and you have helped me out of some tight jams. I have a knew problem. I think that i have updated my psp so many times that the computer wont download music onto it any more, i could be wrong of course, if i am could you tell me my problem, and how to fix it of course. The Problem is that the computer just keeps saying error when i finnish copying and then the music files are deleted. Ne way my computer is a windows XP and my music program is windows media player. if you could help and email me that would be the greatest thx.

oh and by the way the error code is C00D11CD

srry again but this may be another bit of info you may need, but my mom just finnished having someone wirelessly fix the computer from a virus.

im really sorry i keep giving you more info and taking up more space but i would like to know if this is normal. after i double click on removable disk F there are more folders than just PSP. There are: PSP, MUSIC, PICTURE, VIDEO, MP_ROOT
(i have no idea what it is). Inside the PSP Folder there is: COMMON, GAME, SYSTEM, SAVEDATA.
Inside MP_ROOT there is are folders (with nothing in them) called: 100MNV01 and 101ANV01 if you could tell me what these are as well that would be a big help.
and i sure hope you can read what my e-mail is because i am definitely not putting it up for everyone to see (no offense everyone)

hi i have a ceramic white psp version 2.6
i want to know how do i get windows Xp on my psp?

hey dave you helped out a lot on my picture problem.could you tell me where the best place is to download games and if possible could they be free i doubt they can be though.:)

I found your site very uninformative, you state the obvious and thanks to you I wasted quite some time reading your useless information when I could have been seeking better information regarding my psp from another website that actually has some valuable knowledge that could help me out somewhat. Thanks Grisly Adams(Dave Taylor)........ Nah Im just kidding your site is pretty decent you helped me out quite a bit actually. Thanks dude!!!

I just brought a new PSP and i have firmware 3.03 installed. I let the PS format the memory stick and the folder structure is: (from windows)
F:\MP_ROOT
F:\MUSIC
F:\PICTURE
F:\PSP
F:\PSP\COMMON
F:\PSP\GAME
F:\PSP\SAVEDATA
F:\PSP\SYSTEM
F:\VIDEO
F:\MEMSTICK.IND
F:\MSTK_PRO.IND

Dragging music files into the music folder will work as described above

How can you get windows xp on your psp. Because I heard you could do it from a couple of my friends already

how can i get a cord for my psp to put music and pictures on it.

Raul, the PSP is not a PC, so anything you see that appears to be Windows XP or any other standard PC program running on the PSP is a trick. It'd be cool if you could run Windows on the PSP, but it just ain't so...

Joe, the cord you want is a standard "mini-USB" cord that has the narrow connector on one side and a standard USB connector on the other. You can get 'em at Target, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack and just about any other store that sells any sort of gadget.

for some reson wen i plug my cord to the back of the comp and go to settings it doesnt even show that the usb cable was there.............i dont understand.............

I was reading over everything you wrote and tried it out with my psp. Everything went smoothly until i clicked on the psp folder only 3 subfolders came up they were games savedata and systems how do i get music thx

how to put psphacks on psp?

Hey this info helps a lot. =) can you help me with my psp? I got some short questions and stuff i cant figure out,

I have a GateWay, it aint the best of computers but its all i got at the moment, First I hook the Usb cable to computer and psp, and then i click USB connection and it says please wait and is still saying please wait, then nothing happens on computer so i go to control panel and click add new hardware and it says windows will search for any new plugin and play devices, then i click next and it searches. next it says the windows searches for devices for usb devices.

after i click next it has 2 clickable dots sorta like check marking spots to pick one of the options. one says search the best driver for your device(recommended)

and the other says display a list of drivers in a specific location so you can select the driver you want. I go to the recommended one and it says windows will search for new drivers in its drivers database, and it has a bunch of spots you can click for check marks for it to begin its search with I checked the boxes that say Floppy disk CD-Rom Drive Microsoft windows update and specify a location and under it all it says driver D:\,A:\,C:\CABS,C:\CABS <--- thats all the drivers in the scroll menu.

so heres the main problem,

I go with one driver but it says Windows was unable to locate a driver for this device, if you do not want to install a driver now click next to search again click back. so i go back to the other driver types but they all say the same thing. plz can you help me out? sorry for typeing so much.

Dave, looks like your website is the place for all the answers. Hope you can help me out with this one. We just bought my son a PSP in America. We are now back in England and he is trying to upload some photos to it. We have gone to my computer, made a file called Photos on the PSP and drug and dropped photos to it, but nothing happens. It looks like there are photos there but then the PSP says "No Images". We'll see if a different cable makes a difference. Also, is there any way to make it work with Windows Vista? Thanks!

I am having the same problem as a number of your readers regarding downloading music to my psp. It seems taht I dowload them with my windows media player, and the folders show up on the psp, but "no tracks" are listed in the folders. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a problem downloading pictures onto my PSP. Every time I try to make updates on my xp, after installation, it says "SL17B.tmp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And then there is an icon that says close. I click close and I click on the update icon at the bottom right. Another message appears saying The following updates were not installed: "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1" Then there is another close button. I click close, and there is nothing else i can do. Another thing is that when I go to my G Drive, into my PSP Folder, there are only 2 folders. One says SAVEDGAME and the other says BROWSER. I checked into both folders, and neither one of them had the PHOTO, MUSIC, or VIDEO folders. Someone please help me.

hey man thank u so much that is so hard to do on the other sites u make so easy thanks man

Hi. Ok, so I put pictures and music on the files just like you said to do. and they are on the memory card when I put it on the computer, and they are on the file with the USB cable. but when i try to go on my psp and bring up the pictures and songs, it says that there are none. what do I do?

I need some help. I have one of the newer PSPs, version 3.6. I'm using a Windows XP OS, and when I go into the folder, there are two folders, SAVEDATA, and SYSTEM. All that is inside SYSTEM, is Browser. And all that is in SAVE DATA, is my game files.

Those having the updated PSP problems where it has only the two files in PSP listen up; I finally figured it out. You need to make the files yourself. :P

I can't find my PSP folder.
And when i plug my USB cable
into my PSP,nothing happens.

Help?!

what if the photo isnt jpeg or jpg?

Joel, you'll probably need to convert it to a common graphical format. If it's PNG, it'd be worth testing, but anything else is probably not going to work properly.

Seems like you're getting a lot of questions like this one - but I just can't find an answer. Have followed ALL your instructions for downloading music and pics onto psp. Downloaded music no problems - works a treat. Trying to copy pics onto psp - they are showing on computer as being in photos folder on psp but when I look on psp - no pics???? Any ideas????

Lisabeee, you really want to use the search feature here on the site: I have a number of different articles on pictures / photos and the PSP that I am sure will help you and offer more details than this overview article.
