Make the PS3 read iTunes Tags just like PSP does..

Simple: Make the PS3 read iTunes tag from aac audio files (.m4a) just like the PSP does (with album cover, tracknumber and everything).

What I do is download the music off of iTunes, enter Media Go, Media Go imports the music automatically, transfer the music to my PSP, plug my PSP into my PS3, transfer the music from PSP to PS3, and then go onto the web browser, get the album art, and apply it. That sucks….. and it takes…. well not too long actually but it’s annoying.

Yes, this is surely quite a trivial thing to patch in, but would save me an awful lot of time.

Why has this not been fixed. I ripped 500 CD’s into iTunes & my PS3 says “Unknown”. My PSP reads them just fine, finally one this the PSP does better.

Looks like this is fixed. Firmware version 4.0 must of fixed it. I checked after the update & my AAC’s where still Unknown if I’m remembering right. After doing a Restore File System, the AAC files are now understood by the PS3. Awesome.

Now only if it could play MKV files.
