Copy the music file to the Memory Stick Duo™ media

Copying a file manually

Copy the music file to Memory Stick Duo™ media to enable it to be played on the PSP™ system. Using a PC, create a folder named "MUSIC" within the Memory Stick Duo™ media, and then copy the file into that folder.

Hints

For a list of file types that can be played on the PSP™ system, see "Files that can be played".
You can create folders within the MUSIC folder (Figure 1). The system will treat it as a group.
Folders created within subfolders are not recognized (Figure 2).
If you want to specify the order of the tracks, create an m3u file specifying the order in the folder. The system displays the file as an (m3u) icon and treats it as a group.
If the MUSIC folder is created within a folder named "PSP" on the Memory Stick Duo™ media, music files saved within the MUSIC folder will also be recognized.
When copying files from the PS3™ system to the Memory Stick Duo™ media, necessary folders are created automatically.
Take care not to infringe the intellectual property of others.
A Memory Stick Duo Adaptor (model number MSAC-M2: a Sony product sold separately) is required if your device can handle only a standard-size Memory Stick™.

Copying a file using compatible software

When using PC software such as "SonicStage" (a Sony product), the required folder is automatically created when a file is copied to Memory Stick Duo™ media. Use this method when playing music in ATRAC format.*

* The device used to connect the Memory Stick Duo™ media must be compatible with MagicGate.

Hint

Music files can also be downloaded from Web sites. For details, contact the service provider.
