You can’t search the web without seeing something about downloading music.  There are just so many ways to do it!  Now, even the Sony PSP is in on the action, as it is also an MP3 player, allowing you to play your favorite songs from your favorite new handheld system.  But for many people, it can be stressful to try to download free PSP music.

To download free PSP music, you have to have patience.  With any task, it can be irritating to wait for, but trying to rush through steps can cause problems and potentially ruin the PSP for good.  Taking a little time to follow the proper steps in how to download free PSP music can mean the difference between hearing your favorite songs played on your PSP or dishing out the money necessary to replace your current PSP.

There is a rather simple solution to download free PSP music.  First, you have to have what is known as a CD ripper.  This device allows you to “rip” or pull music from your favorite CDs.  There are many different CD rippers out there, so doing your research to find the best one is well worth the time and effort.

Once you’ve got the CD ripper that you want, load your favorite CD into the computer and start up the CD ripper.  Pick out which songs you want to add to your PSP and follow the CD ripper’s instructions on how to extract and encode.

If you already have music files on your computer, you only simply need to add the files to your PSP.  For either option, however, you must make sure that the files are in the proper format for your PSP.  Check out the PSP manual for the formats it can hold.

But now that you’ve got the songs ready to be added to your PSP, how do you transfer them over?  Your PSP should come with a USB cable so that it can connect to your computer.  If not, there are many stores that sell relatively inexpensive USB cables for the PSP. 

Once you’ve hooked your PSP to your PC, it’s easy to transfer it over.  Simply send your music files into the “H:PSPMUSIC” drive.  You may want to double-check and ensure that your PSP is, in fact, the H: drive before you send your files over, and after you’ve sent them over, it would be a good idea to check your PSP to be sure they were sent over properly.

It isn’t difficult to download free PSP music.  In fact, if you take the opportunity to do it properly, it takes no time at all, and before you know it, your favorite songs are available, right at your fingertips!
