Your PSP are able to play mp3 songs right out of the box and it sounds great! I have both iPod and 20G Sony Viao music player that uses Attrac format and i must say, PSP music playback has the best sound quality.

To play mp3 on your PSP, you'll need

• A big enough memory stick duo. The 32 Mb that comes with your psp will only fit a few songs. To really make it practical, i recommend that you try and find 1G memory stick. If you look hard enough, you'll be able to find one for about 0
• You'll also need a Mini-USB (USB A to USB Mini-B) cable or a memory stick card reader to access your memory stick from your pc.

1. Connect to your memory stick

If you are using memory card reader I assume you already know how to do this. If you are using USB cable, simply connect the cable to your PSP and Windows will detect it as a new drive.

2. Copy your music into the folder named "MUSIC" inside the "PSP" folder.

In the memory stick, there should already be a folder called "PSP", if there aren't any, you haven't been playing any games! Inside the PSP folder, find a folder named "MUSIC". If it is not there, don't worry, simply create a new one.

Now, simply copy your mp3 songs into this "Music" folder and you're done. You can also create folders inside the "MUSIC" folder and put your songs there.
