"New PSP owner question and answer thread"

I've had one for a while, if you want to know something, I might be able to help :).

You need this software (Sonic Stage 3.2) to transfer atrac3plus files to your PSP. I'm using 64kpps and it sounds amazing. I have 157 files on my PSP taking up 289Mb. Bullet had 83 files on his taking up 480+Mb. Atrac3plus is definately the way to go.

And this (PSP Video 9) to convert and transfer videos, it even supports the AVC codec added by firmware 2.0 (which your new European PSP already has on it):

And this to rip DVDs

You need to change the settings to create a single VOB file for PSP instead of 1Gb chunks, then convert it with PSP Video 9.

Tabbed browsing:

While in the browser and viewing a web page, hold square and push R or L to move to a new tab. You will see a band of red, blue and yellow at the top of the screen, these show which tab you are currently on.

To open a link in a new tab, hold cross on the link instead of just pressing.

While holding square and you can use the analogue stick like a mouse.

Right now, I'd rather have a proper mp3 player too, but I don't.

So, I'll be sticking with my PSP for a little while longer.

Yeah, unfortunately my iPod can hold about 5,000 times more songs and weighs a bit less.

I just got my 1Gb stick today, but you can still get a fair few songs on a 256Mb card using 64kbps atrac3plus.

I had 40 tracks before I started transferring again tonight, and they only took up 69Mb.

Aye, if only I didn't update my PSP to 2.0 then I could of brought it back down to 1.5 then I could have looked into this homebrew stuff.

But oh well, that would mean I'd need a massive memory stick, and I've only got a 256mb one, and I'm guessing you really need a 1gb plus stick for this piece of kit.

Yeah, I'm surfing this while converting my mp3s to atrac3plus and transferring them to my PSP :).

But we're going through 3 threads here, oh well, t'is something to do.

That's cause we're the only people here.

Lack of options, Babe ;).

Well I suppose it's ok, but you think for £250 you would get nifty buttons and whatnot.

Also I have 1 dead pixel but only when the screen is completely black, otherwise, it's fine. Co-incidentally it's in the same place as on my PC monitor

Oh well, we seem to be following each other about tonight, honey.

Mine's feels ok to me :D.

And here's a hint to everyone.

Be careful with the wi-fi button on the left side of the thing. Mine feels very flimsy and wobbles like a cheap button on a Matalan sweater.
