"Today we are going to talk about how to get music on to your PSP, that is your Playstation Portable System. There are a lot of different ways of doing this now. One of the most popular new ways is to use your Playstation 3 console. It can rip tracks directly from a cd so like if you have a hard drive so you have almost unlimited capacity. What you want to do is just plug it in. There is a little USB slot right here and your PLaystation 3 has a similar port. Just plug it in, follow the on screen instructions and you can download tracks right to your PSP. In a similar way you can take the PSP with the USB port, connect it to your computer and you can directly drag tracks from your collection like MP3's and drop it right on to the music folder of the little memory card that is in your PSP and it will show up in the music section of your PSP. You can also take out the memory card from your PSP and put it in a standard memory card read. Most card readers read the memories, they can do a format that the PSP uses and again you would just drag the music tracks to your PSP, find the music folder and once you put the memory card back in all the tracks will be there and you can just play it like any other music player. It is very handy and very simple."
