If this is a description of you, then today is your lucky day because you are about to read an easy to understand description of how you can go about downloading music with ease to your PSP.



The first thing you need to do is to grab a CD Ripper and A PSP Video converter. The reason why you require a video converter is so that you can also be able to convert video files so that apart from listening to the music you will also be able to watch the music videos. The CD ripper will enable you to rip (extract) music from music CDs.

Next you need to load your CD and fire up your CD ripper and select the song or the songs that you want to transfer to your PSP. When you have done this you can then select "extract and encode to PSP". If you are transferring the music from your computer, then it is even easier because all you need to do is to hit "add" from your CD ripper or PSP video converter. It is very important that you remember to select the PSP format as there are usually several options available and many of them will not work

The way to connect your PSP with your PC is by using a USB cable you then need to copy your mp3 files in the computer straight to H:PSPMUSIC, where drive "H" is your PSP connected to the computer through the USB cable.

Interestingly a huge cottage industry has grown rapidly around offering useful tools for converting and copying files for PSP use. Some popular alternatives that have emerged in recent times include PSP Movie Creator, PSP Video Express, Xcopy and Media Boss, to name a few. All of them have something in common. And that is they greatly simplify the task of converting and transferring files to and from PSP's Memory stick. There are also FOSS programs like Ffmpeg which can be used to convert video into a properly sized and formatted video file. What this means is that with the use of these tools, virtually any digital video file can be played on a PSP. This even includes movie files ripped from DVDs or digital video recorders like the TiVo. This is made possible after conversion to AVC.
