I have 7,500 MP3's.....and I have a question! - Blu-ray Forum

Just created a playlist and it will NOT let me add songs from the USB drive to it. So that's something to consider, you will have to manually play all the songs you want from the drive.

I don't use my PS3 for streaming.... but won't it recognize playlists that you have already made on your PC if you stream the music directly from your PC, or if you have playlist files on the external drive? The 360 does this, so I would assume the PS3 could as well?

A great program to use to stream your music from your PC to your PS3 is TVersity. If you use a Mac you can use the application MediaLink. I've used both programs on each of my computers and couldn't have been happier.

I don't want to stream it. I want the external HDD attached to my PS3 without a connection to my PC.

I was just saying it was just another option. For what you're looking for, just plug it into the PS3 via USB.

Cool! Guess I'll just try it and see what happens.

I have to convert to FAT32 right? How do I do that?

Even if the HDD is NTFS, you still should be able to plug and play the mp3 files on the PS3.

If you wanted to reformat the HDD (which I don't even think is necessary) you just have to right click on the drive and select "format".

***Make sure you move all of your files to a safe place before you even think about reformatting because it will wipe everything off of your harddrive.
