If you’ve got a lot of stuff you want to sync, it’s easier to get some software to handle it for you. One advantage of using software on your computer to sync your PSP is that most utility programs can perform other useful tasks, like auto-resizing photos or converting videos to a PSP-friendly format. Unfortunately, Sony no longer supports MediaGo, the official app for managing PSP files, and its replacement, Sony Content Manager Assistant, is only compatible with the PlayStation Vita. Therefore, your options for managing PSP files are somewhat limited. Nonetheless, here are three programs (some for Windows, some for Mac) that will sync your PSP and perform a variety of other tasks quickly and easily. iTunes support and automatic file conversion are definitely big pluses, and the number of supported devices is impressive. If you’re a technophile with a lot of devices you want to sync to your music, photo, and video playlists, this may be a good choice. This really appears to be more suited to smartphones than the PSP, but users who also use a smartphone may find it useful. Unfortunately, most of the more interesting features are only available in the (rather pricey) “Expert” version. If you’re a PC user, this is probably the easiest choice for syncing your PSP. It’s free and still has its uses. The biggest advantage of Media Go over third-party software is probably its direct connection to the PlayStation Store–your downloads are automatically added to your library when you access the Store through Media Go.
