My friend uses his Nano on his and my PS3 via USB cable. It works fine. Sometimes the titles don't show the same information as listed on the iPod, so you might have to play them to figure out what some of the songs are.

I have an ipod video and it works for me via usb. I can play my music and videos from my ipod on my PS3.

I haven't personally used an Ipod with my PS3 as i don't own one but know from reading something a while back that you can, sometimes you may need to do the show all option from the control panel to get all the songs to show

I have used my old 20gb with it and it plays music fine.

yea it can, just hook it up with usb cable and go to music and hit triangle key on controller and it will open options like "View all" (its been months i did it so i dont remember how it is worded) but it is there. i have tried it and it works.

If the music file was encoded by iTunes as AAC, the file's info won't be recognized. That is, the name displayed is going to be different. If the music file was encoded by other apps to MP3, the file will be displayed correctly. Either way, the audio still plays.

No, you can only use the media sharing through windows media player, and the file has to be a supported format as well (mp3, wma, etc...can't remember the rest off the top of my head)

Shin-Ra · 11-08-2007, 06:50 PM

iTunes doesn't support DLNA, there are alternative Windows and Mac OS media programs that do.

teunis · 11-08-2007, 06:56 PM

Hmm... wonder if it will work with my iPod touch?

bluperch · 11-08-2007, 07:03 PM

Thanks. I'm trying it with WMP now. Too bad about iTunes. I know Sony and Apple partner on other projects. Hopefully it's just an iTunes update (or two) away.

As long as you're not using copy-protected tracks, they're playable.
