I bought a video iPod yesterday, and figured I could use it to transfer music and videos to my PS3.  I plugged it in to the PS3 using the cord as if it was a computer, and it recognized the iPod.  Under videos, pictures, and music on the XMB the first thing that came up was 'USB Device (iPod)' or something to that effect.  Then I pressed X and it said that there were no files (images, tracks, or videos).  I was wondering if maybe I needed to convert the file or something first.  Anybody who can help, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.

I tried going to every folder and I found three or four video podcasts, and two corrupted files, which is weird, because I can play everything I'm supposed to on my iPod.

i have read this before but you have ot use a specific folder naming convention if order for it to work, but it is possible. its like PS3?MUSIC/Filename  something like that. Then you will be abel to see your files.

You can't use the music that is played by your iPod because it isn't in the proper file structure, and the files are hidden. Try hooking the iPod up to your computer, going to My Computer, then going to iPod (F:\)(or whatever it says)..You won't find any files, they are hidden in the iPod somewhere, only accessable by programs that can find it (iTunes, iPod Updater, etc.)..
Try putting the music onto your iPod through copy and paste or dragging and dropping it onto the actual harddrive/flash memory. You won't be able to listen to it, but the PS3 will be able to read/play them.
