Support NeoGAF

Looks like Sony realizes no one wants to use their shitty Atrac format on their music players. Can PSP mp3 support be far behind?

Good choice, if it's true. MP3 support is mandatory at this stage of the game.

Based on the article's wording, I'd expect Sony to ship the PSP (at least the first model) just in time before they do this with all of their portable machines.

Or perhaps blame MP3 implementation for any sort of price/delay issues

For the time being, Sony customers will have to be satisfied with MP3 support in flash-based players, which could come as early as this year. Sony not only plans to release new devices; it is working to make available software that will let owners of current models upgrade their devices to add native MP3 support, European sources said.

Sounds like it could be a sure thing. PSP would be the best place to use it.

Link no worky.
It was European sources that reported the lack of mp3 support in PSP initially(via Edge). I wonder if there's an about turn there.
