It stands for Universal Plug and Play. It is a common feature available on many routers, but it usually has to be turned on. Check your documentation/online KB for your specific router for further details.
it basically is a way for device to communicate with router to open up a port specifically for your PS3. For the unsavied it just allows smooth communication between Sony and your system. Enabling it on your router may allow for better internet game play as router will automatically route information to your system instead of blocking of info as the default behavior of firewall.
I finally got it saying availaable but it keeps saying no media server available whjen my pc is right next to it, and no tracks are found when i hook up my ipod.
UPnP helps with outside connection, not network in your home. If you are having issue with media server setup, it may be better to get a quick start guide and make sure the firewall on your computer is configured correctly (especially if you are using 3rd party firewall and/or not using WMP).
Protected AAC files will not play or be recognized by your PS3. So, if you are an iTunes junkie, none of your tracks will work. Just one possibility- it really makes me sad. About 50% of my music will not play on my PS3.
yeah it's kind of funny that music files that are most like stolen will play on a ps3, but the ones that are actually purchased won't play. What kind of message is that sending to consumers?

steal?
So you want DRM to rule your life. MP3 does not automatically equal pirating u know... I used to encode my music in 128kbps, and now w/ more space I actually use flac for lossless archive and mp3 w/ 320 VBR for listening on device.
Mp3 and divx are two different codec that a lot of people can use to make/rip their rightly bought music/video. Supporting popular codec doesn't automatically means Sony support pirates. Or are you trying to say Sony is backing up all the pirates w/ their securom?
I'm well aware that drm free doesn't equate to piracy. However, it's more likely that one who pirates will have drm free audio, while the typical person who purchases music is more likely to have restrictions. That is all.
