Question Transferring files onto PS3

[Medway Blue]

Can I put my music on there?

Put a load of tracks onto a memory stick and put it into the PS3. PS3 picks up memory stick, but says there are no tracks on there :(

Can anyone help?

Don't have a PS3, but could it be the file format at all?

Here you go James:

Yes it is possiable, but when you add the songs into the memory stick, place all the songs in one folder that way you don't have to copy them one-by-one.

Also when you insert the memory stick into the Playstation 3 and you go to the Music tab and songs don't appear, don't worry. Press "Triangle">"Display All". And to copy them press "Triangle">"Copy".

Also make sure that the memory stick is in FAT32 format and your music is in either of these formats

• Memory Stick Audio Format(ATRAC)
• MP3(MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3)
• MP4(MPEG-4 AAC)
• WAVE(Linear PCM)

Hints

• Some files cannot be played due to the data type.
• Some music files distributed over the Internet have playback restrictions. For details, contact the content provider.
• To play ATRAC format files, you must go to
  
  (Settings) >
  
  (System Settings) and set [Enable ATRAC].
• When using a USB adaptor to play music files, you may need to use a USB adaptor (not included) that supports copyright-protection features (to play copyright-protected files).

If you've got a wireless router or both your PC and PS3 hard-wired into your modem then you're better off leaving the files where they are and downloading a wonderful little application called tversity . Basically this will then allow you to stream any media from your PC onto your PS3. Hence in about an hour I'm going to be able to watch the four new episodes of 24 which I downloaded today on a big TV rather than having to watch them on my monitor and without having to faff around burning them onto a DVD or memory stick.
