You can plug it in and charge it via the USB ports on the front of the PS3, I'm not sure about streaming music to play though, I haven't worked out how to do it with mine yet.

You can't, the PS3 won't read the harddrive...

The only way I know how to put music on a PS3 was burn the tracks from a CD in the PS3. That is how I got my playlist for High Velocity Bowling.

Actually I want to get music onto my playstation but it won't read my mp3. The only alternative I can think of is burning about 50 CD's or doing a round trip with my PSP's memory card about 700 times.... any better ideas?

You can do what I do, buy an external Hard-Drive...They are cheap! You can use the small once that you can buy for about $10...

Place your music on it and then plug it into the PS3 with USB, then you listen to the music move it or whatever you want to do . )

I live in Ireland and they're more expensive. Still cheap but not worth it just to use it once.

It does seem a little too extensive to me. For $20 dollars I bought audio cables and hooked my older MP3 player to my stereo. My new MP3 player connects right to my TV. The newer one plays movies , music or whatver I load in it right through the TV. I just wanted some songs to listen to for the games that allow that.

I can listen to my ipod through the ps3, just go to display all files and you find these randomly numbered files with your music in them, dont expect them to be in order.

if an ipod touch is like the ipod nano, then you can, you can't stream it but you can copy your music to the ps3, hook up your ipod to the ps3, then on the ps3 press triangle on it in the music section, and click display all, and then i think the music is in a folder called ipod control, they will be in folders with numbers on them, copy the ones with music in it

They need an update, the 360 has full music streaming and works with all important music and video kinds.

if you have WMP11, and a wired or wireless internet connection to the PS3. YOu can stream and copy your music, its a lot easier and better to me. No need to plug in anything, i don't know if WMP11 supports Itunes file type, prolly can get a add on.

not really because apple is microsofts main rival in the pc market, and microsoft programs dont work on apple systems and vica versa (without ports or somthing)

yet in the consolse they're both compatible

think thats wat he's getting at

get a flash drive and simply sync all your music on your pc with windows media player and move over all the vids and movies you want by dragging and dropping into the flash drive, then slap in to your ps3 and just move it, its not that hard

I'm in ireland too but i'd say your best bet is to buy memory online. Thats what i'd do but my mp3 player is picked up as hard drive. 2 Irish sites which should be fairly good prices:

Much easier way of doing this

1) Download Tversity http://www.tversity.com/

its free

2) Install it, add your itunes folder + any other music/video folders for tversity to monitor

3) Start the server on tversity and then on your ps3 go under music/video and click the search for media servers button (if its not there you have to go enable it under network settings.

Tversity will actually stream videos or music of different formats and convert them and stream them in real time!

thats not entirely true. seeing as the 360 wont play the touch and has the same problem as the ps3 but it is ironic that it does play more than the ps3. and what you can do instead of burning a tons of cd's you can get a flash drive and put the songs on there and then transfer and move the songs or w.e. the the ps3/xbox 360. or you can use tversity and brodcast your music to all computers and systems that are conected to your IP. then from there u can also move copy the songs to the ps3 but sadily you can't do that with your 360. (note if you have vista on your computer you might run into a couple problems.)

Won't work if you want to use it as custom playlists annoyingly... That only works if your doing nothing else which annoys the heck out of me.

Unless the iPod touch is different, my PS3 can see and play/stream songs from my 5th gen iPod video. Press triangle, display all, and start going through the random numbering, lettering and organizing of your music.

It can be a dvd or a cd. I have a dvd-r around here with 4+ gigs of music on it and the PS3 had no issue reading it.

You can charge it through the PS3, but thats it. Besides, iPod Touch's are a waste of money. Get a 160gb Classic for $250. Much better deal than a Touch, which starts at I think $300 and 8gb.

Only if you ask politely and give it a hug first, otherwise you're SOL.

(Yes it can copy)

You can plug your Ipod touch in. But your PS3 won't read it.
