Download Music to PSP Go – Places to Get PSP Go Music Downloads!

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009


You’ve got your new PSP Go, but no music. You want to download music to PSP Go but don’t know where to get it. Lucky for you I’m going to show you places to get PSP Go music downloads.

Everyone loves to be able to carry around their MP3 player, or in this case, their mobile game system and have the ability to listen to their favorite music on it.

Whether it be kids, teens, or adults, everyone wants to be able to have their favorite song selections to listen to while playing a game or enduring a family road trip.

The problem is that it’s hard to find a good, reliable source to download music to PSP Go.

There are a bunch of different sites that offer free downloads for the system, but many of them don’t offer music at all.

Not to mention you run the risk with almost EVERY free download site of downloading viruses that could be the end of your PC or your PSP Go. Why? These “free” sites offer downloads from what’s called a peer-to-peer network. This means ANYONE could’ve uploaded that file that you’re downloading, even a computer hacker.

But there are viable options.

There is one site in particular that I found to be really useful. It’s called the PSP Go Download Center.

They have a massive database of over 150,000 songs, games and more so you can download music to PSP Go with no problem.

The downloads are fast and 0 safe. They don’t come from peer-to-peer networks. The downloads come from a secure server owned by the website itself. So there’s nothing to worry about.

And they even give you a free guide on how to install anything you download on your gaming system. It’s a gem.

It’s not free, but like I said, the free download sites are all crap. They don’t have good selections, half of the files are viruses, and it’s just a horror trying to work with them.

A membership at PSP Go Download Center is just $39 for a LIFETIME membership. What does that mean? It means you can download music, games, movies, and anything else UNLIMITEDLY for LIFE.

You’ll never get charged again after the first $39.

That site is gold. If you want to download music to PSP Go, that’s the place to go.

Music Download Industry News

Monday, September 28th, 2009


The music download industry keeps evolving, as more players enter the game and alliances are formed within a blink of an eye. We’re all aware of AT&T partnering with giant Apple Inc. to promote the iPhone, which of course uses iTunes for its ringtone capabilities. As more mobile phones encompass multimedia functions, the music and telecommunications industries are realizing their unfolding opportunities to meld together.

AT&T and Napster, one of the original music download services, are joining together and providing direct download capabilities, according to CNNMoney. In an effort to avoid mobile-to- PC connections to transfer music files, direct downloads are growing in popularity. More mobile phone owners are using their cell phones as MP3 players, not to mention the added benefit of using downloads as ringtones.

Similarly, in Australia, Nokia is stepping up to the plate in music downloads, providing free Wi-Fi zones for Nokia Nseries customers. They plan to launch a music download service of their own sometime this year, and with their free Wi-Fi campaign, more and more Australian-based Nokia users will be more apt to try it out come launch time.

Telecommunications companies and mobile phone service providers aren’t the only ones switching up the music download industry. 6StarReviews.com reports that Amazon’s newest service, AmazonMP3, is offering lower prices on individual songs and albums than some of their competitors, such as iTunes.

Their 2-million some music collection stands out in that its music files are DRM-free and iTunes and Windows Multimedia Player-compatible. Though competition amongst music download providers is inevitable, anyone with a mobile phone or MP3 player will continue to be exposed to countless options.

Ipod for Audio Books

Monday, September 28th, 2009
The iPod is a music and movies player, but people can listen to audiobooks and other spoken-work content, while commuting, jogging or exercising. Audiobooks are either complete or abridged recordings of books, which are read out loud and recorded. Sometimes the author himself reads the book, like Bill Clinton’s My Life, and the late Douglas Adams’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Others are read by famous actors, like John Lithgow’s reading of Michael Crichton’s Disclosure and Joe Mantegna’s readings of Robert B. Parker’s mysteries.

Usually, these are read by professional readers whose purpose is to make a book sound as compelling as it is on paper. After purchasing CD audiobooks, you can import them into iTunes and listen on your iPod like other digital audio. The Ipod audio books from the iTunes Music Store or Audible.com are created as one or two files lasting ten hours each, making them easier to listen and manage in your iTunes Library.

Buying audio books on-line

It is good to know your options as these can be expensive, costing more than paper books. Audible.com provides the same quality of audio book content that the iTunes Music Store sells, apart from Audible’s broader selection of non-book audio programs and its monthly subscription that includes either one book a month for $15 or any two Ipod audio books for $22 a month.

You can only buy individual titles from the iTunes Music Store. Fans of audiobooks will view this as a great deal; you spend more than that for most individual audiobooks on CD or from the iTunes Music Store. Yet, if you only want single audiobook without a monthly subscription, check both places: on some books, the iTunes Music Store is much cheaper than Audible.

You can rip audiobooks from CDs to use in iTunes and iPod. For maximum benefit, you have to choose a format for importing, join tracks on the CD, and make the files able to be bookmarked. When you sync audio books to your iPod, they appear in one of two places. If they are bookmarked, they appear in the Music > Audiobooks menu automatically, though they are not in that genre. They also show up by genre, artist or “song”. If they cannot be bookmarked, you will have to search for them from these latter menus.

You play Ipod audio books like other audio files, but bookmarked audio books give you an extra advantage. This is going to the iPod’s Settings menu and selecting Audio books which let you choose a different speed for the playback or change the speed of a droll or hyper reader: Faster or Slower. The played file’s speed changes, not the voice. The distortion noticed is not a problem.

This change can also be made as you’re listening to Ipod audio books. After they start playing, press the Select button thrice. Run your finger around the scroll wheel clockwise to make it ‘Faster’; scroll the other way to return to ‘Normal’, or to change it to ‘Slower’.
