Why doesn't my PS3 recognize my music? - Blu-ray Forum

Prometheus59650 · 05-14-2008, 07:42 PM

Ok. I wanted to move the music from my PC to my PS3. Sometimes the streaming spuuters and I just upped my drive so there's room.

I have a small jump drive that I used to use for updates before I got broadband and it worked fine transferring data and fine when I transferred some pics to the PS3 to use as wallpaper.

But when I try to transfer music it registers the jump drive, but tells me there are no tracks on the jump drive. It doesnt register WMA or MP3. Anyone know why and what I might do about it?

Thanks in advance.

you need to put the files in a folder named MUSIC (it must be in uppercase).

Off the top of my head I think you need to select the jump drive, press the triangle button and select display all. You should then see all of your files.

If you have not already done it, you should also go into the system settings menu and make sure you have activitaed the "Enable WMA Playback" option too.

It's got better taste in music then you do?

Okay, honestly I've got no idea, I just had to say it.
