Before starting make sure that your music files are in appropriate format. PSP can play music stored in the most common file formats like mp3, mp4, wma and others.

F:\MUSIC

Where F drive letter assigned by Windows to Your PSP. Please note that this drive letter is used only as an example. Actual drive letter assigned to PSP on your computer will probably be different. If you cannot find folder mentioned above, do create it manually on your PSP.

When you have successfully browsed to MUSIC folder, copy the music files/folders, to this folder. After copying make sure that copying is complete by verifying that PSP Memory Stick PRO Duo indicator is not flashing. If you have managed to copy the music files/folders , now you should have file/folder structure like this:

F:\MUSIC
–> dmx-prayer.mp3
–> linkinpark-whativedone.mp3

Please note that music files names are just an example, your file/folder names should be different.

Step 2 ~ Listen to the music

Disconnect your PSP from your computer, and on your PSP head to MUSIC option in the menu. Select Memory Stick option and a list of music files/folders will appear.
