As you know, the Playstation 3 Slim comes with several USB ports where you can plug in a flash drive. In the XMB (Cross Menu Bar) there are folders where you can access your music files (kind of like Windows 7).

I have my mp3 music files on the flash drive. When I connect the flash drive to the PS3, I'm not able to access those file types. So my question is, can they be played on a PS3 and how am I able to do that?

My second question is, can they be played while playing a video game?
