Playing WMA music files on the PSP

[adrums1999]

How do I go about playing wma music files on my psp? It plays files labelled MP3 fine, but it won't play the WMA ones. It says I have to connect to the internet or something? But how do I do that? Is it via the USB adaptor?

PSPs have been able to play WMA files since firmware upgrade 2.6. If yours hasn't been updated by a recent game release you can download the firmware on your PC and transfer it to the PSP using the USB.
The latest is firmware 3.1 and is available in the download section here:

Along with instructions on how to install it.

Also you can get a lot of software for free that will automatically change your wma's into mp3. Just search psp music on www.download.com
