How to transfer iTunes to PSP

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:

  • Connect the PSP to your PC with a USB cable.
  • Press the “home” button on the PSP (it’s a tiny button to the lower left of the screen) then use the left-right directional buttons to find “Settings”, then the up-down buttons to find “USB Connection” on the PSP.
  • Press the “X” button (you got it, the round button with the “X” on it) and your PSP should display “USB Connection”.
  • In a moment or two your computer should tell you that a new USB device has been connected, then show you a new generic hard drive, usually E: or F:
  • Click on the drive letter that corresponds to the PSP unit.
  • Now create a new folder on that drive and name it “psp”.
  • Within the new “psp” folder create another folder, and name it “music”.
  • Copy your desired mp3 files into the new “music” folder.
  • When you’re done copying your desired music tracks, press the “O” button on the PSP to get out of USB connect mode.

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!

This iPhone has a touch sensitive screen where you can just touch a button with your finger. How cool is that. You can make a phone call directly from google maps if you like. You can use your finger to go down a list of names to make a call. With the point of your finger, you can go down the list of CDs you have downloaded. You can very easily play one of your favorite songs.

Get the best desktop email services, google maps, google and yahoo search and web browsing with your iPhone. With the widescreen iPod on your iPhone you can watch movies, TV shows, and video. You can also read all of the web pages you want while surfing.

Brace yourself for the long lines on this one. Get in and get out. Try calling some AT&T stores to see if their is a waiting list. You can also contact your local Apple store to see exactly what is going there as well.

Watch out for this tidal wave. This Apple iPhone may give the greenlight to other manufacturers to start sell consumers many pricier mobile cell phones. These manufacturers may have to just that in order to compete with Apple. A demand will be created here. Make sure you are watching the market on this one. Could this be a positive or negative here. We will see. Time will there. You should understand now why the hype over the Apple iphone. Anticipation is making me wait.

Cable or DSL Which Is the Faster Internet Connection?

by Darren Allsop.

With the ever demanding need for speed and requirement to download large files on the internet, it is common place for a large percentage of homes and business users to purchase a broadband internet connection.

Websites are getting larger and larger, video websites are starting up all over the net, programs need to keep our computer safe from hackers and mp3 music downloads theses are the main reasons for broadband growing very popular. With dialup we are restricted to how much we can download has it would take too long, but with broadband running between 10-40 times faster now we can download to our hearts content!

There are some other alternatives to consider, we need to understand all the possibilities, let’s examine cable and DSL. These are much better options than dialup internet.

First, there are the physical issues. DSL is connected to your computer by a phone line. You will also need a DSL compatible modem. The computer must have an Ethernet card or USB connection free. Your phone service should be in an area where DSL is available.

With cable you will require a cable modem, an Ethernet card or USB connection free and a cable company providing internet service in your local area.

As for speed DSL speed ranges from between 128kbps and 3mbps, with better connection speed costing more on the average. 768kbps is about thirteen times faster than dial-up, and should cost around $25-30 a month.

Cable generally provides 3mbps to 10mbps in connection speeds, generally three or four times faster than DSL, but costing $40-50 a month.

DSL is normally cheaper than cable. DSL must have a dedicated phone line, you don’t want any interference with your phone or from other internet users in the area.

The Apple Iphone And Gmail

by Chris Simpson

Google’s Gmail email service has been a huge success. The main reasons for this are the very simple user interface that is incredibly easy to use and the ever expanding amount of storage space you are provided with. You also have the power of Google’s search engine capabilities to help you locate any email without any problems. If you are constantly on the go and it is therefore very likely that you will want to have the ability to access your Gmail account no matter where you are.

If you have both a Gmail account and an iPhone you will also probably want to set up your iPhone so that you can access your Gmail account directly from your phone.

Google has just recently announced that you are able to add a protocol to your iPhone strictly for Gmail accounts. This IMAP application allows Gmail account holders to check their e-mail on any offline e-mail readers, which is perfect for individuals who have an iPhone, and even for those that don’t. It is extremely simple to install and run the IMAP application on your iPhone, thus allowing you to seamlessly integrate your iPhone to your Gmail account. The first step to beginning this process is to go to your Gmail account and enable IMAP. You can do this by logging into your Gmail account and then going to Settings. After that click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP, then click “Enable IMAP.”

The next thing you need to do is to get your iPhone and tap on Settings and then tap on Mail. After that click on Add Account and rather than selecting the Gmail option select the Other option. You will need to enter your name, then imap.gmail.com for the host and then your full Gmail address including the @gmail.com at the end.

You also need to move to the Outgoing Mail Server or SMTP. For the hostname enter smtp.gmail.com and make sure that you save your changes. You should now be able to access your Gmail account directly from your iPhone via IMAP and now have the ability to read the emails in your Gmail account right from the palm of your hand.

Being able to access your email when on the move is becoming increasing important in today’s fast paced world. Communication is very important and having the ability to access your emails wherever you are from your iPhone means that you no longer have to be tied to a desktop computer to keep on top of things. Whether you are a business professional or just somebody that uses email regularly you will no doubt benefit from having instant access to your emails no matter where you might be.
