    Ok I have a PSP and I mainly use it as an MP3 player and movie player. I get all my music from Itunes and obviously Itunes music does not work with my PSP so I burn them to a Cd and put it on windows media and then put it on my PSP but instead of getting the song name I get track 1, track 2, ect so i though will I will just go into windows explore and just change the name from track 1 to what the song is called. So I did that to all my songs but when I look at the songs in my PSP is still says track 1, track 2, ect but when I go to windows explore it shows the songs name. I'm confused on what to do to make the song name show up on my PSP. Help please! Thanks!

    It's called metadata. Your PSP is unable to read the metadata for the tracks, thus you do not see the song names. Your computer is able to read the metadata, thus you can see the song names.

    Hope this helps. :)

    did you check the tags in the properties, usually when that is filled out it would work on mine.
