cant download music to my psp?

Question

any file i try drag or drop or cut and paste wont work ...says file name or path are not correct ...their on there for a min then when i try 2 play them they go corrupt? please help

Answer 1

well i haven't had a PSP in a long time but might remeber how to put music on it... ok when you plug it in it should say PSP on your desktop. if not go to My Computer and should be in there. then open your PSP files and then open music file. then go to Windows Media Player. then drag your music into the folder. but make sure you do not open the music file. just drag the your music on the top of the folder. then after you do that open the music file and check if its in there. but before you put all your music into your PSP disconnect your PSP and then click on your PSP the music option and if your song is on there. redo the whole step. but you dont have to keep disconnecting your PSP after every song. just keep draging and dropping. and after all your songs are on there then your set to go. e-mail so i know if it worked or not. email is [e-mail]. thanxs and good luck.

Answer 2

likely its the actual incontrovertible reality that the psp would not study the format in which your feeding it. your going to have acquire a format converter to regulate the format of your songs so as that the psp can study it. you may try the %. that you would possibly want to purchase in circuit city that brings the making use of for that... its an same component that surpassed off to me.....also, perhaps the folders of your files are not proper named....they might want to be all capitalized operating example: for the video folder its "VIDEO" and song must be "song"....

Answer 3
