I as well believe that Sony should bundle it. Dont see any reason why they couldnt of made it a standard. I run Free PSP Music Downloads so I know quite a bit about the ins and outs of the system myself. Just my 2 cents.

If you, like myself, think that this program should come bundled with the purchase of a PSP, send Sony a message to let them know about it.

To contact their customer service department, go to the following site:
http://www.us.playstation.com/contactus.aspx?id=form

Click on the ‘Consumer Services’ link under ‘Support/Consumer Services’. From the ‘Category’ drop-menu at the bottom, choose ‘Other’under the ‘Corporate’ heading. Click on ‘Continue’, and then submit your comment. I sent the following message yesterday:

“I just purchased a PSP, and I am disappointed to learn that I will have to pay an additional fee if I want the software that you have designed to manage it. If Sony intends to compete in the multimedia market with other companies such as Apple, which provides it’s iPod management software for free, the PSP Media Manager should come with the purchase of the PSP itself. The fact that it does not suggests a short-sighted marketing strategy which disrespects customers who have already paid a significant amount of money for your product.”

I received the following response today:

“We value your input and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please rest assured that we will convey your feedback to Sony Computer Entertainment America’s (”SCEA”) appropriate management.”

It is unlikely that much will come of my own individual complaint, but Sony may decide to change its policy if enough people voice their disapproval.

Hello, i think Sony is great and i love the PSP, but i do believe that they should have inculded the software with the PSP. $20 is not that pricy, but just as Apple includes iTunes w/ iPods they should do the same. The program is great, but if you don’t want to pay then there are great alternatives out there that do the same job. If you don’t know much about computers i reccomend purchasing Sony’s program, otherwise PSPVideo9 will do the job. PSP now play Atrac3, WMA, and Mp3 so good enough for most people iTunes files will not work and will never work unless Apple liscenses Sony their DRM technologies.

Get off your high horse. If Sony needs to charge $20 o get a decent media manager for the PSP out the door let them. Sure it should be bundled with the device, but it’s not. Is $20 going to break you? Save your milk money for a week. It’s not like Apple doesn’t nickel and dime you for every accessory for the iPod.

This program was developed by the Sony Digital Media people who do ACID and Vegas. Based on their track record it should work.

As for the free programs that are “probably” better than this, have you actually tried them and do they actually work better than this? From my experience some are OK, but none are complete solutions. Some like MediaBoss are painfully bad. Ever tried to put .m4a AAC files from iTunes on your PSP?

If this program works I say keep ‘em coming.

> only to find that it’s not compatible with Win2000

Duh! Did you bother to read the system requirements?

sony sucks but rocks.
this would be more popular and people might actualy use it if they distributed it with the PSP
