How to Put Music on PSP-3000: Official Music App, Media Go, or Custom Firmware for More Formats

Method 1: Official (Music App)

1. Connect PSP to PC via USB → select "USB Connection" on PSP.
2. Open PSP drive → create/use MUSIC folder (or PSP/MUSIC).
3. Copy files: ATRAC3/ATRAC3plus preferred (native), MP3/AAC/WMA supported.
4. Disconnect → Music app plays them.

Method 2: Media Go (PC Software)

• Sony's official manager (discontinued but downloadable).
• Auto-converts to ATRAC, syncs playlists, album art.

Method 3: Custom Firmware (CFW)

• Enables homebrew players (e.g., PSP Sound Player) supporting FLAC, OGG, more MP3 bitrates.
• Void warranty, brick risk, requires technical skill.

Tips

• Organize: MUSIC/Artist/Album/
• Use headphones—built-in speaker is poor.
• Source legally (Bandcamp, CD rips, purchases).

CFW unlocks formats but official method works for most.
