Does the PSP GO work as a viable MP3 player?

So, my video ipod died last night, and i've been really considering getting the PSPgo. I already have a bunch of ps1 classics already from the PS store, so it might seem like the logical item replacement.

However, i'm debating whether i should get the Go or an iTouch...

What is your opinion or experience?

Thanks!

i'm really considering buyinh a psp go for the exact same reason .

i just wanna know about the sound quality . i own a pair of 400$+ headphone and i really want to have the most of my portable audio device

its not a good sign

ipod in general doesnt have the best sound , but anyway , it depends on the head phone you have

i think it's a viable mp3 player, i replaced my ipod touch with it :D

It makes a fine MP3 player, but the interface for song/album selection is nowhere near as nice as the iPod, and the iPod has a better web browser. However, the sound is good, videos look good, and it is a way better gaming machine than the iPod touch.

its an ok mp3 player (i think creative products have the best sound) but if youre not an audiophile then its fine. Also a decent pair of headphones will help the quality

hmm well, my biggest gripe is that my iTunes library (after much hard work and persistence over the years) is perfect! I have everything thing perfectly organized, and my album art images are all at nice resolutions and are sharp, etc, etc I kinda feel that using the Go as an mp3 player will make my hard work go to shame (especially album art wise lol) What's your experience?director13

When my Creative Zen broke down, I tried the psp as a mp3 player and i found out that the sound output level was low even at max with headphones. Now this could be due to the headphones but i tested same headphone on different device and it was loud. i like my music real loud and i did not get that from my psp. also the L and R buttons switch tracks which is very annoying. i kept hitting R or L (accidently) and song changed. just my opinions.

i even tried to legally try to make my psp volume level higher, but there was no options for that. As far as the psp go is concerned, the spec's released by Sony were same as PSP3000(as far as the sound is concerned) and they would have mentioned it if they did fix this problem/limitation. i would not recommend psp or PSP go as a mp3 player, unless you plan on gaming with it as well. You can buy a mp3 player for way cheaper that is more compact than a psp GO, can take it to the gym, and can get a higher volume output than the psp can at this time.

[QUOTE="mschmitz2559"][QUOTE="director13"] hmm, valid points can anyone here agree that the psp's volume output is not that high? especially conerning the PSPgo? thanksDarkMaster7991

[QUOTE="mschmitz2559"] I can second that...PSPs volume output is limited to conserve battery life. Another nifty limitation. :roll:director13

I take great pride in my music. I buy about 20 songs a week and my ipod touch is really for home. It was a gift and I really dont want to bust it up. So I am considering for the same reason as you, but will it hold on the stuff. Yes 16G is alot but have you ever considered how much maybe 50 songs takes up? Its about like 500 MB ( I am not a techy just guessing there ) and with games on the device your looking at maybe a loss of about 2 games, but with videos, pictures, and other stuff, alot of music might not be a good idea. But a 250$ MP3 player? No. A 250$device that can play music play PSP games and can be really nice have to have yes thats what a PSP Go is.
