How to Listen to Music & Still Surf the Web on a PSP

It's possible to listen to music while surfing the Web on a PSP.

Sony's PlayStationPortable, or PSP, is a popular gaming device used by kids and adults alike. The PSP has features such as Internet Radio, which allows the user to listen to streaming music on the device. The Internet Radio program, however, does not allow users to play music while surfing the Web without a little tweaking. But only a couple of quick changes must be made before PSP users can listen to their favorite tunes while browsing the Internet. The PSP must have relatively recent firmware (3.80 or above).

Things You'll Need

• PSP device with firmware 3.8+ installed
• Internet connection

Instructions

Change the Settings

1. Navigate to the Internet browser on your PSP. Click the Web address field and type: file:/PSP/SYSTEM/BROWSER/bookmarks.html, then press "Enter."

2. Click the "Start" button twice to display your Internet bookmarks. Click "Select Tools," "Settings," "Home Page Settings," "Use Current Page." Select "OK" to confirm and save your changes.

3. Close out of the Internet and navigate to the device's Internet radio. Choose a player from the list. Once the new player has loaded, click "L" or "R." This switches you to a new tab. Select "Home." This is where your bookmarks now are.

4. Select a bookmark and start surfing the Web from there while your music plays in the background.
