Q. Will future firmware upgrades improve the PSP's music
capabilities by including support for playing music in random/shuffle
modes?
A. While we have nothing to announce today about additional music
capabilities, Sony Computer Entertainment is committed to continuing to
build on the functionality of the PSP system. To date, we've developed
seven firmware upgrades that help users get more from the device, from
expanding the types of music file formats supported to making TV
programs recorded with a TiVo available for viewing on a PSP. We will
continue to look at ways to enhance the consumer experience going
forward via additional updates.
