PSP firmware 3.93 expands internet radio

by Andrew Yoon { Mar 18th 2008 at 2:30AM }

A late night update of the PlayStation.blog reveals that a new firmware update will hit PSP today. 3.93 will, as usual, expand support for PSN titles. However, it will also revamp the oft-forgotten internet radio feature of the handheld. According to the post, there are "20 new internet radio players to enjoy." Not only that, "the new players are organized into more specific styles of music so that PSP users can easily find what they are looking for and listen to their favorite genres." The current rendition of the radio is a bit disorganized -- anything will be undoubtedly be a step up.

one thing though.. it says "PSN support extended" etc.. BUT! it also seems to be adding "skype support under [network]".. i had skype a month ago..!?

The skype is for Japan.

I wish we had more useful features like screen shot capability, my dream update would contain that and that alone.

IF it's corrupt, d/l it again, just wait a while first.. i had to wait a few hours till it would stop saying that.. i also recharged my battery, if that had any benefit..?

not a big fan of the previous internet radio players but with the new ones especially the clip players i will be using it a lot more.

Cool, I use the Internet Radio features constantly. It's more of a radio player and web browser for me than a game player. I can't really remember the last game I played.

As long as they don't mess with my GCN and RBN streams it's all good.

my radio player sucked on 3.90. It would play for about 4 seconds and stop. Buffer back up and play for another 4 seconds and so on.

I just started to enjoy internet radio late at night on occasion.
It's fun to listen to random music.

I can only get my Internet Radio to work maybe 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time, the player will load, but none of the genres are listed and I get no audio whatsoever. Maybe they fixed the problems. I'll have to try it when 3.93 M33 drops!

Radio worked perfectly for me before; 2mbps connection at 35% signal. Even with my iMac on the internet it always worked. Half the time when I'm working I just want to play a genre rather than a specific song. Jpop for art (what the hell are they singing?!), ambience for coding, reggae for making babies. what!

Still I'll update once it hits the M33.
