How to Download Music on My PSP

On March 24^th, 2005, Sony introduced the Play Station Portable (PSP) to the United States and the hand held gaming world has never been the same! Perhaps you were recently introduced to the PSP, maybe as a Christmas or birthday present, and all you know is that this game player ROCKS! After you've had your game for a while, it becomes obvious that you need to learn how to download music on my PSP, but you're just not sure where to turn. Here are the three most obvious...

How To Download Music on my PSP - Method #1...FREE Sites

If you do a Google search on the internet for "free PSP music", you will find more than 12 million sites that match this criteria. That's right, 12 million, as in 6 zeros after the 12! Most of these free sites are a complete waste of time and here's why. First of all, your selection at these free sites is very limited and what they do have will take forever to download because of their limited server speeds.

Most free sites are set up to lure you in to buying something else, often completely unrelated to your PSP. Additionally, you will often encounter Adware and Spyware intrusions through these sites. Remember: you get what you pay for. Stay away from free sites advertising PSP games like the plague. In my experience, they only lead to trouble.

How To Download Music on my PSP - Method #2...FREE "Membership" Sites

Free "Membership" are very similar to the overt FREE sites, but with the added twist that they require your personal information. Once you give them your name and email address (at least - I saw one membership site requesting everything about you down to your underwear size!) and are taken into the membership area, you will find that things are not so "free" after all.

Nearly all of the free membership sites that I previewed, required a payment for each game, movie or music download. The only thing that was "free" was the membership. If you actually wanted to get something from them, it would cost you. Again, because of the limited selection, slow download speeds and unscrupulous business antics, stay away!

How To Download Music on my PSP - Method #3...Paid Membership Sites

If the idea of laying out just $37 once, for a lifetime of games, movies and music seems too much, then you would do well to play the "free" internet option instead. Or better yet, just buy your next PSP game at "Best Buy". Be warned though, just 1 copy of "Ratchet and Clank" will cost you $39.99. But, if $37 or thereabout, seems like a good investment to get a lifetime of unlimited games, movies, music, TV shows, software, images, wallpaper, ebooks and more, then a paid membership site is what you are looking for.

There are several very good membership sites that charge anywhere from $35 to $50 for a lifetime membership, with huge inventories to choose from. Because these are legitimate businesses, their servers are quick and powerful and they even have very good customer services. Paid membership sites are definitely the way to go!

In this article, I hope you have seen that free sites are never free and that free membership sites only provide free memberships, not free products. To get the biggest bang for your buck, paid membership sites for your PSP games, movies and music are the way to go.

I have reviewed hundreds of PSP sites, so you won't have to! Price, Selection, Speed and Service are my criteria. To see my NUMBER ONE recommended site, go to http://www.squidoo.com/Download_PSP_Games/
