Known issues
Under memory pressure, some embedded artwork may not load. This is more likely with PNG or unusually large images. Playback is unaffected; using smaller JPEG artwork is a temporary workaround.
On compilation albums, opening an album through Artists may show the complete compilation instead of only the selected artist's tracks. Playback is unaffected.
Check the public issue tracker for current reports and workarounds.
Diagnostics and privacy
PSPMAN saves a local diagnostic log named PSPMAN-HW-DIAG.log at the
Memory Stick root. Nothing is uploaded automatically. Each launch replaces the previous
log, so copy it before opening PSPMAN again after a problem.
