iPOD & PS3

Is anyway of connecting the two together. So you could access the music through the xmb on ps3?

Don't think so.

ya,

Step One: The Essentials
Before doing anything else, make sure to connect your iPod to the Playstation 3. Plug your iPod in the one of the Playstation 3's USB Ports.

Now turn on your Playstation 3. Make sure it launches into the XMB (XrossMediaBar). If your Playstation 3 launches a game instead, press the "PS" button and highlight the "Quit Game" option and press the X button to confirm; that should launch the XMB on the Playstation 3.

Step Two: Finding the iPod
The Playstation 3 will recognize your iPod as "USB Device (iPod)." You should see your iPod in the Music, Photo and Video categories. Go to the Music category.

Step Three: Finding the Tracks
Highlight you iPod. If you press the X button, it will say "there are no tracks." Instead, with your iPod highlighted, press the Triangle button. Doing so will bring up two options: "Display All" and "Information" (which shows the size, amount of free space and number of tracks on your iPod). Highlight the "Display All" option and confirm your selection by pressing the X button.

You will see a series of folders. To find your music tracks, highlight the "iPod_Control" folder and confirm your selection by pressing the X button. In the next series of folders, highlight the "Music" folder and do the same thing. All other folder options will give you the same message: "there are no tracks."

If done correctly, you should see folders named "F00," "F01," etc. Your music tracks should be in the folders. Some of your tracks may have weird looking names composing of random capitalized four letters but your music tracks should be all there.

Step Four: Playing the Music
Simply press the X button to play with your desired music track highlighted. When it's playing, you can press the Triangle button to bring up different options: volume control, visual player, shuffle, repeat, etc.

Thats only works for the older iPods or Ipod that haven't been updated in a while.
The last 2 generations of iPod have no disc-mode anymore and the music database is encrypted and only readable by iTunes.

Unfortunately it's not but that's the way it is. The big drawback to an iPod - - - - -> iTunes.
