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
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!

I did everything said here. For the music it worked perfectly, but for the Photos it persists to say that I HAVE no pictures once I go to the PSP, yet there’s no space left BECAUSE of my pictures. I just don’t understand why they won’t show up <_< Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks a lot!!
The other sites provided me useless informations!!
But I’m satisfied with this site!!
Thank you once again.

Folks the name for pictures folder should be “PICTURE” NOT “PHOTO”. it may be in some versions. Formatting the card will automatically create all these folders.
