Slasher has updated his MP3 plugin for 1.5 PSPs today, bringing it up to version 3. Slasher's MP3 plugin is basically a custom firmware, as it allows you to play MP3 files from your PSPs memory stick using Dark_Alex's original P.O.C. Custom Firmware that was released a while ago. This plugin will currently play 200 tracks that are stored into the PSP/MUSIC folder of your memory stick whilst in the PSPs XMB. Here's the full feature list:

- You can change the CPU speed if you wish to get rid of any lag you may experience.
- The song display is now more consistent.
- Easy to remap the button control.

New for this version
- Now every button is configurable. Alot of people were wanting that - so here it is ;)
- Added a new display mode option.
    - Mode A = Show song title briefly after changing song.
    - Mode B = Show song title always.
    - Mode C = Show nothing...ever.
- Added an option if you want your music to auto-start playing.
- Bumped the maximum number of songs up to 200

This application has been tested by Slasher and no random crashes have occurred; however, if your PSP does crash after a lengthy MP3-playing session, just restart your PSP and it should be good to go. There are a few bugs with this plugin, so please read the known bugs list before complaining that this 'doesn't work' or something of the sort:

• Make sure to stop (or pause) your current song before loading up a homebrew or UMD, else crashes.
• When exiting out of USB mode, music may mess up. Just switch the current song(or pause it) to fix that.
• When using this with any USB Activating-related plugins, It may cause this plugin(along with the others) to not work. Please remove all USB-related plugins for this module to work. (Attempting to fix this)
• This won't work in devhook. I'm trying to fix this - so sit tight :)

For installation instructions, read the readme which can be found on the download page or in the zip archive. Remember, there is a workaround present for the 200 song limit of this plugin - Don't have over 200 songs at a time in the PSP/MUSIC folder. Thanks for the tip Slasher!
