But you need to know a few things before you can put music on it. There are not many requirements for putting music but it is important to know the specifications before setting out to do the task.

You have to select “X” again. The system will then prompt you if you want to really format the memory stick. Selecting “Yes” and clicking on “X” will complete the process.

After this, choose the USB connection on the PSP and click “X”. You will then be prompted about your next Windows action on the computer. Here you have to choose “open folder to view files using window explorer”.
A new window will open up which will show you the contents of the memory stick. By double-clicking on the folder named “PSP” will pave the way for another folder called “Music”. This is the place where you have to load your music files. If you are using the regular firmware version, then you can load MP3 songs. If you have a later version, then you can add WMV files too.
Then the task is pretty easy. Copy and paste the songs to the folder. After loading all the songs, press the circle on the PSP to get out from the USB connection. Then go to the music option on xmb menu on the PSP. You can now listen to all your favorite songs.

Now that you have learnt how to put music on a PSP, you can keep uploading new songs and deleting the old ones. Its just the way to have fun and keep enjoying.
