man i didnt think something so simple was so hard. i even look at the instructions in my manual and it didnt say shit about that. just push the triangle button and everything was there. thanks man
i think you should have mentioned that the ps3 only reads devices in FAT32 format... some people have NFTS formatted devices and they won't read. video on how to convert devices to FAT32? or hack the ps3 to change its compatbility.... shout outs to geohotz
So at this point I have to assume that my Patriot USB drive is not compatible with the PS3 because nothing is coming up. I've even recreated your directory structure with no luck. Universal what now?
i connected my phone to my ps3 via usb cable and did what you said but the music from my phone won't show up at all. Do have any words of wisdom for me?
quick question does it have to be fat32 format? cuz when i added the firmware after redoing my hard drive i needed to format the drive to fat 32 before hand. just wondering if thats required for this ?
I have an easy video on how to get music on ps3, without a flash drive or any long process and unlimited use, all done on the ps3 browser, check out my vid.
Hey, thanks a lot. No one covers stuff like this and PS3 is so damn picky on everything you have to do like this. It really doesn't seem very user friendly at times. Anyway, thanks again.
My PS3 does not recognize the USB flash drive in the music folder. What happens when the USB does not show? I copied all my music to USB drive and placed in USB port on PS3 and nothing happens. The flash drive lit up for a few seconds after inserting but that is all. Someone please advise of this matter and place a video on utube for those of us who have this same problem.
Thanks! I completely forgot how to do it...It's been a while since I've done it, and I was getting the same issue I got the first time I did it for some reason...I guess it was trying to recognize my USB again...*sighs* Anyways, nice and direct instructions! ^_^
on mine i can use a ipod, sd memory card or a flashdrive sumthin ur doing wrong maybe do this hit triangle button then press display all then ur music should b displayed
Yes im going out of my fucking tree here because ppl are explaining how t do it and thats all well But wat my problem s, is trying 2 get the songs on my ipod, to convert them to MP3 because it wont allow anythin but MP3 on the PS3, there is only 1 song it recognises on my ps3 because it must be MP3 but the rest wont go on and its sooooo effing frustrating
when i put in my usb, it doesn't show up on any sections of my ps3. do i have to change settings on my usb or something? this is really frustrating hahaha. like when u went to music and went down to find the USB device option, mine doesnt show up there. please help!
I know exactly what you mean man! I got so fed up with it, and when I found out how to do it I decided to make my own how to vid, you should check out my others
Wow nevermind remove my comments lol. It was SOOOO stupid. It's cuz i was putting the videos in a "Privacy Zone" that requires a password. So it wil not allow to transfer files that r in privacy zone. I put em in the "Public Zone and then it showed up and i copied everything to ps3.
One more thing, u transfered music, but i put videos on the drive. Do i do the same thing or even tho i have videos i gotta go to the photo section and do it from there?
yes the exact same process can be done for videos and pictures. you would just have to follow the exact same steps but instead of going to music, go to pictures or video and then still do the "step by step" process that I do in the video, and it will still work.
Dude i have a 8gb usb drive when i put it in on my newly bought ps3 slim wich ii just bought. When i click it, or display all. I get "No tittles" or something likethat. It basically says i have nothing on the 8gb usb drive, but I do have videos on it, i have movies on it, but when i put it in it says "no tittles" wtf? help me out.
you need to follow the video step by step. usually in the drop down menu the USB will show at the very top of whatever file your looking at **example, music, video, or pictures*** the usb option will be almost at the top of the list from the drop down menu from whatever section you select. Let me know if that helps you out!
I want to pull up my songs from my MP3 player but everytime i plug it it...it wont show up USB or anything? i can use a flash drive but id like to pull up my mp3...help?
