    I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem but I can't seem to find anything about it on the net, my PSP seems to be extremely fussy about what mp3's it plays, a lot will appear as corrupted....I'd just like to know if anyone out there has figured out why? the way its encoded? bitrate? it'll play most mp3's just fine but it really pisses me off when it won't play certain songs. The Sony Media Manager never sees the songs either....it puzzles me as they play fine everywhere else.

    Nah, not bit-rate issues here. I reckon it's that they're WMAs or some such. N'est pas?

    You didn't get your memory stick from ebay by any chance did you? Its flooded with fakes at the moment that are packing it in after a couple of months use.

    I got mine from ebay a long old time ago. I think this problem is more hyped than it actually appears.

    here's a load of info on it - not referring in particular to ebay, but tells all about the very convincing looking fakes.

    WOW! Thanks. Luckly I got a real one. I have had one mp3 say "Corrupted Data" but I turned it off and it went away and the mp3 works fine, hope it doesn't happen again.
