It's not that complicated but I've tried to make this a dummies guide. This is probably the longest wait, what with the PlayStation 3's 5400rpm drive but once done, you're sorted.
Your iTunes playlist is now being copied to your PlayStation 3. You should see your folder called iTunes, press Triangle again and choose Copy. Select it in the XMB, and press Triangle, choose Display All. Unplug your USB HDD library, and plug it in to your PlayStation 3. This will copy your music over to the HDD. From the main menu, choose Advanced > Consolidate Library. But we still need to transfer / duplicate the music on to the USB HDD. When this is done, you should see your playlist in your PlayStation 3 playlist in your USB HDD iTunes Library. This may around 15 minutes for a 30Gb library and does not display a progress bar - so be very patient. The playlist will now be imported in to your new USB HDD iTunes Library.
From the iTunes main menu, choose 'File' and 'Import'. Make sure the check box that says Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked. From the iTunes main menu, choose Edit > Preferences and click the Advanced tab. (To open your original iTunes Library, use SHIFT+click method and select the location of your original iTunes Library). iTunes will now open a fresh, blank library on your USB HDD. Browse to the 'iTunes' folder you just created on your USB HDD. Make sure you keep SHIFT held down until you see an iTunes dialog box. Transferring singstar songs to another ps3 windows#
You need to open iTunes again (you should've closed it by the way), only this time, hold down SHIFT+click iTunes from your Windows Start Menu. Choose a place to save it to and remember where this is. Once you're ready, Right Click on your playlist and select Export Song List. My copy of Gling Glo by Björk Gudmundsdóttir & Trió Gudmundar Ingólfssonar was nowhere to be seen. If there are, the PlayStation 3 unfortunately simply will not display that music when grouping by Album Name or Artist. Also - make sure that there are no weird characters in artist names, album or track titles. Check all the music in your playlist has the correct data: artist name, album name etc and of course, artwork (Right click > Get Album Artwork often works). Inside that play list, place all the music you wish to transfer on to your PlayStation 3. Open up iTunes and create a playlist called PlayStation 3. Transferring singstar songs to another ps3 ps3#
Some music in iTunes! (note: protected tracks or file formats not compatable with PS3 will not be playable).

A USB HDD big enough for your music playlist, and compatible with PS3 (IE: FAT32 formatted, how to format a drive as FAT32 in Windows).I guessed most people might be interested in this, so I've written the following guide on how to do it using a Windows PC. So, after some hunting around I figured out how to do the one thing I wanted - create a playlist and transfer it to my PS3. Making sure all those valuable hours spent organising your music collection are not wasted is vital. If you're like me (rather anal about your iTunes collection, ensuring every single track has album artwork) then the task of transferring that precious data to your PlayStation 3 could be quite a predicament.
