More and more people want to download music to their PSP game console.

The Sony PSP was originally created as a mobile 3D-game machine, like the GameBoy was created as a 2D-gaming device. It was not designed to play music.

However, very often it occurs that those little technical gadgets get used for other things than what they were origianally designed for.

The PSP is perfectly capable of playing both music and movies and the sound quality is excellent.

You can buy songs on UMD, which is the PSP media format, although these are not commonly sold. The easiest way to get music on to your PSP is to copy files on to it from your hard drive.

In case you want to transfer audio CDs to the PSP you first need to convert the music from the CD to files on your computer and then transfer these to the PSP.

If you want to do this, you will need a PSP memory card which is big enough to store the music files on, a CD ripping software in case you want to convert CD tracks and a USB cable to connect your computer to your PSP.

There is also software available to will do everything all at once: This means extracting the music from your CDs, converting them into the PSP format and then transfer them to the PSP.

Some such software can also compile a music library on your PC for you and remember which songs you have already put on your PSP, so you won’t accidentally put the same songs on twice.

If you want to use a program like this, you just have to ensure your PSP is connected to your computer, start the program and hit “synchronize”. That’s how easy it is.

When downloading music to your PSP, you have the advantage that it does not use a proprietary format like iTunes with iPod. This means that, although the PSP is not a full-blown music player like the iPod, it is certainly a game console with the ability to play your favorite MP3s.
