The PS3 meshes well with music devices

media compatibilityNo. We won't tell you that Sony's PlayStation 3 recognizes different music devices. We won't even tell you that IGN decided to take a look at how the PS3 responds to different units.

There is no way in hell that we'll explain the process of PS3's media browsing function. We will not explain to you that the PS3 only browses from the video, music, and photo folders it was meant to look through, but will also open and list the files on your connected system with those basic categories.

We aren't going to discuss the "Display All" function that takes the place of a media search. Not a word shall I speak of how you can use that function when you open up a USB-connected device, and how it lets you load anything the PS3 recognizes and can play.

No amount of torture is going to make us mention that the 20 GB video iPod was recognized by the PS3, but that you'll need to use the above-mentioned Display All feature to view everything on your iPod. You could dip me in boiling water repeatedly, but you will not hear a peep about the Display All function generally making anything with a USB readable to some extent on the PS3.

You might hear me scream something about some of the stubborn mp3 players being so incompatible with everything else that even the PS3 won't recognize it. Yeah, enough boiling water dippings will probably make me utter something about the iRiver H10 being one of those said devices.

NO! I will not confess anything about how easily the PS3 and PSP work together to play media! Never! Better to die than to admit that the Display All function is the best workaround currently inside the PS3 for media hunting on different music devices until they update the functionality of it.

Never will I tell! NEVER!

» iRiver?

Does this mean that the PS3 supports the MTP protocol, or that this iRiver had the new MTP/UMS conversion software already on it?

» I also did not liked the article

I had to re-read it to understand it. Not everyone in this page is American, and not everyone understands your humor.
