Step 1: Check your PSP Go storage and format the Memory Stick
If this is the first time you've used the Memory Stick to store media file, you must format it to create the proper folder structure for use on the PSP Go. (You do not need to format the built-in flash memory in the PSP Go as the correct folders are already created.)
1. Go to “Settings” > “System Setting”, and press the X button.- 2. Select “Format Memory Stick”, press the X button.
- 3. There popup the message “Do you want to format the Memory Stick?” Select “Yes”, press the X button.
- 4. Confirm the follow on message “All data on the Memory Stick will be deleted, are you sure you want to continue?”
- 5. Then the Memory Stick is formatted and replaced with the PSP system folder structure.
Step 2: Connect PSP Go to a computer
On the XMB™, go to “Settings” > “USB Connection”. This will place the PSP system into USB Mode. Then plug the multi-use connector into the bottom of the PSP Go and the Standard-A side of the USB cable into your computer as the picture shows bellow.
Then your PSP Go and the Memory Stick will show as an “Removable Disk Drive” or “Removable Storage”.
Step 3: Transfer media file from computer to PSP Go
Browse to the PSP Go Memory Stick or built-in flash memory on your computer. Locate the music, TV shows, or movie files downloaded from iTunes, Amazon Unbox, Limewire, Facebook, Napster, or Rhapsody, wherever you want to transfer to PSP Go. The rest is simple “drag and drop” work.
But there are two important issue to note:
1. Save the music, video, or movie files into the RIGHT folder inside the PSP folder on your Memory Stick or built-in flash memory.
Take video file transferring as an example, the PSP system can read videos up until second level subfolders, but will not read videos in third level or lower subfolders
2. Check if the files you want to transfer are in RIGHT formats compatible with PSP Go, and make sure they’re not DRM protected or copy protected.
PSP Go supports music in .mp3, .wma; video in .mp4, .avi, or h.264, iTunes DRM-protected .mp4 music .m4v video movie and other protected .wma music .wmv movie downloaded from Windows Media, Amazon Unbox, or Napster etc can’t be recognized by PSP Go.
But you can use a 3rd party DRM Removal Software to strip the copy protection and convert them into PSP compatible formats.
