How to Organize PSPgo Content by Using Media Go

An easy way to organize all the content for your PSPgo is to use Sony’s free Media Go software. Use Media Go to organize games, movies, and songs for your PSPgo. You can even use it to access the PlayStation Store to purchase new content. When you access the PlayStation Store using Media Go, you’ll have access to enhanced game previews and game stills to help you decide on which games you want.

Media Go is also the easiest way to transfer music, photos, and videos from your PC to your PSPgo. Using Media Go, you can organize your demo games and movie rentals by expiration date, subscribe to podcasts, rip songs from your CDs, create music playlists, and rotate your photos for optimal viewing in the PSPgo. In addition, Media Go automatically converts media files into a compatible format.
