So I downloaded all this music a couple weeks ago from stupid iTunes onto a USB stick. That in itself was a huge learning experience for me, as I'm not very computer savvy. I had to bother one of kids that works at my shop just to figure iTunes out. Once I figured iTunes out, it got rather addicting looking up songs, downloading them etc. I think I had spent about 40 bucks overall.
Got home and installed it from the USB into my PS3's music folder. All this music plays fine if I just listen to it straight from the music folder.
So I start up my GT5 disc and go into Options > Audio > Personal Music (whatever the path is) and try to get this music playing in my game. It just says "this music is not supported" or something. Upon further research, I'm reading that iTunes is rather strict; somehow they code the music so that it only plays under certain circumstances. I sort of undertand why...it's so the music is paid for, not pirated off onto dozens of computers or iPods or whatever. Problem with this rationale is I paid for it already. The music plays fine on my PS3, not sure why it can't make the jump from music folder to game...
I'm noticing iTunes is formatted via AAC (whatever that means) which the PS3 is supposed to support. Odd thing is, I downloaded several of my regular music CDs into the game and they play fine in the game, whether they're AAC formatted or MP3 or a couple other formats.
So my question What do I have to do to get this music to play in my game? Or is it even possible that this can happen?
