One of the most enjoyable things you can do with a PSP is to hear your favorite songs play right from the device. What if you do not have music files in your PSP and are new to the download process? Do not panic as here are easy tips for you.

First, have your PSP device ready for all your download activities. To do this, format your PSP memory stick in the PSP itself, if this is the first time that you are using it. Not sure how to do it? Simply turn your PSP on, scroll to “Home”, then “Settings”, down to “System Settings”, then choose “Format Memory Stick”. To choose the options, use the X-button of your PSP. Note that without a formatted memory stick, your PSP will not be able to handle and keep any files.

Now that your PSP is ready, you can get music files from your mobile phones, computers, another PSP, or from music download sites.

The music download sites can be accessed for free or for a certain charge. When you opt for this particular source, you just need to browse music download sites right on your PSP. There are lots of them on the internet. Just a word on internet safety though- choose credible and reliable sites. To know which ones, you can ask your friends which sites they use.

If you go to sites that offer free downloads, your choices may be very limited. Sometimes, the files are not a complete copy of the originals so when you download it, you only get a part of the song. If you want full downloads and great wide choices just opt for the sites that offer fee-based services.

The services offered by fee-based sites differ in terms of costs and the “bundles” or packages that they offer. Some offer a week worth of downloads after you pay a certain fee. Others offer free trials while others offer free “bundles” after you have signed up for a particular subscription option. Some sites also have more songs than another.

If you are accessing the sites from a computer and want to transfer files from a computer, simply connect your PSP to the pc and proceed with the download. To connect your PSP device, follow these steps:

1. Connect your PSP device via USB. Your computer will install the drivers needed for the software to work, if this is the first time that you are connecting the device to your pc. If drivers are indeed installed, your system will prompt for a restart. Just click hit on yes if you see the prompt.

2. Once the system comes up again and detects the PSP device, you will see the drive name assigned to it (i.e. G:, H:, F:, etc.). This is the PSP drive that you will access to show the folders where your transferred or downloaded files will be. You have four folder options in a PSP namely, Games, Music, Videos and SaveData.

3. Drag and drop the files from the pc to the PSP drive. If you are downloading from the net, right click on download, choose save as, then save it to the PSP drive.

If you are amongst those who are inspired by good music and for whom music is an intrinsic part of life, you would definitely want to know if music sounds better on CDs or through internet downloads. Though it is up to the individual’s personal liking, listening experiences does vary from medium to medium.

If you are to understand the concept of downloading music from websites through the internet, then it is important to understand “compression”. Compression is basically making a thing smaller than its original size and this is particularly useful while downloading music as the original file would be in large sizes which would make it difficult for people to download. Internet connectivity speed also plays a vital part in the ease of download. Files can be compressed in two forms, one loses no quality, while the other suffers some quality loss.

In the compressed mode, you get the same contents as you put in during the compression. This is similar to using zip files on your computer. The compressed files are compact and do not lose much information. Whereas in the other mode of compression also known as “lossy” compression, the decompressed mode is not same as the original in quality as well as file size. The quality is not up to the mark. The compression is measured in what is called as “bit-rate” and a higher bit rate number better will be the quality.

The best example for lossy compression formats are the MP3 and MP4 / AAC formats where you have considerable loss in the quality compared to the original CDs. However, it does not mean that the quality of lossy compression are undesirable or not worth listening to. During the process of compression, certain parts of the recording are removed which are generally not audible in actual CDs. In other terms you will be missing only the finer aspects, which generally goes undetected.

In the music industry, MP3 recording is encoded at 320 kbps bit rate. This is believed to be quite sufficient as the difference in the MP3 music while compared to the original is negligible and goes unnoticed by most people. Generally MP3s are downloaded at 192 kbps as keen music lovers believe that this is minimum acceptable standard. Though, other services like iTunes have most of their content at 256 k AAC MP4.

Another way of listening to good music is to buy an original CD and convert it into a format of your choice, 320 kbps is most suitable. Sometimes, iTunes and other music software do have superior quality while compared to a CD as the audio are re-mastered. With the CD, you do have an option of listening on either your computer or a home CD player or even on the move in the car.

Like personal choices in music, your preference of listening too depends on your own likings. But to decide which would suit your taste better, listening to music through all types of media is a good idea.
