Syncing PSP to Windows Media Player

Post by noiseredux »

WMP always seemed like a very versatile piece of (free) software. But alas, it seems it doesn't want to recognize my PSP as a device that can be sync'd! Please tell me that someone has figured out how to make these 2 things work together. (and please don't say "you can just drag and drop folders using Windows Explorer." I am aware of that fact, but would like to sync with WMP if possible. Thanks!)

It will see it, it wont be able to sync to where your PSP will see the actuall music. As your PSP can only see things as far as PSP>Music>Folder>music.mp3 or whatever format you use.

I was pretty sure there was a way to choose the folder layout of where its syncs to. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I can't even get WMP to detect my PSP as a device at all.

How can I manually sync if there's no device detected to sync to?
