It is no doubt PSP is a great game player. But it is also a very
good entertainment device which can be used for playing music.
Assume you have some songs on your iTunes and are trying to figure
out how to put them on your PSP. You copy and paste them in the PSP
music folder, however, the PSP doesn’t recognize the songs as music
at all. So what’s wrong? Don’t worry! This guide will help you out
of the trouble.
The music downloaded from iTunes is under DRM protection. In
order to play it on your PSP, you need to strip the DRM off and
have the iTunes M4P M4A converted to PSP MP3 format. You can burn
the protected M4P music files to CD-R or CD-RW disc to make an
audio CD and then use some CD ripper software to convert the audio
CD track back to PSP MP3. Also iTunes allows you to burn the
protected music files to CD-R or CD-RW disc to make a standard
audio CD:
1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc into your CD-ROM
drive. You’d better use CD-RW disc as it can be used for more than
once.
2. Create a new playlist in iTunes. Add the
protected songs to your playlist until you have 72 minutes of
music. Click Edit and select Preferences. Select
the Advanced tab. Tick the Audio CD
option on the Burning tab. Click the Burn Disc button to
make an audio CD.
Note: You cannot select the MP3 CD
option since it requires the protected music files be converted to
unprotected MP3 files.
3. After the audio CD is successfully burned,
insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive again. Then you can use
iTunes or Windows Media Player to
import the music tracks on the burned disc to MP3 files.
Sounds a good idea! But it would be a time consuming process if
you have a library of iTunes M4P music files ready to be converted
to PSP MP3 for playback on your PSP. And it is a waste of CD
discs. Moreover, the information about the M4P music files
like title, artist and album will be lost after burning and ripping
back to MP3 or WMA files. So this method is not recommended if you
have a big collection of iTunes M4P music files ready to be
transferred to your PSP.
Here, I would recommend using TuneClone M4P to MP3 Converter
to convert iTunes M4P to PSP MP3. It applys the virtual CD burning
technology to simulates the burning and ripping process. You just
need to burn the iTunes M4P playlist to TuneClone virtual CD
burner. Then TuneClone will directly convert the iTunes M4P music
list to PSP MP3 for you. It is very fast and the information about
each music song will be preserved perfectly. You can follow
its the step by
step tutorial to learn how to convert
iTunes DRM protected M4P music to PSP MP3.
After getting the output MP3 files by adopting either the
burn-and-rip method or the way of using TuneClone M4P to
MP3 Converter, now you can begin to transfer
the MP3 files to your PSP:
Now you’re ready to go! Use the left-right arrows to move to the
music area, then the up-down arrows to find “Memory Stick”. Choose
that folder by pressing the “X” button again, and you should be
able to find all your favorite music!
