PSP SensMe: Cannot Manually Assign Songs to Channels—Auto Playlists Only, Use Manual Playlists Instead

SensMe on PSP does not allow manual channel/song assignment. It auto-generates playlists by analyzing your library.

How SensMe Works

1. Analysis: Scans MUSIC folder → tags tracks by mood, tempo, genre, energy (via Gracenote/internal DB).
2. Channels (Moods): 12 preset channels — "Morning," "Commute," "Workout," "Relax," "Party," "Sentimental," etc.
3. Selection: Pick channel → SensMe builds playlist from analyzed tracks matching that mood.
4. Refinement: Skip tracks → learns preference over time.

Limitations

• No "create channel" or "assign song to channel."
• Analysis is one-time (re-scan via Settings → SensMe → Update).
• Max 1,000 tracks analyzed.

Alternatives for Manual Control

• PSP Music Player → Create Playlist: Manually add tracks → save as .m3u / internal playlist. Access via Playlists tab.
• Custom Firmware (6.61 PRO/LME) + Homebrew Players: Music.prx plugins, PMP Mod, VitaShell (on Vita) — full folder browsing, custom EQ, playlists.
• PC Side: Manage via Media Go (legacy) or drag-and-drop .m3u to PSP/PLAYLIST/.

SensMe = "shuffle by mood." Manual = Playlists.
