Hello, I bought a PS4 and I want to listen to music and I have some of it on an external drive but in NTFS format, ps4 can not see it, only fat32 and exfat and now the question is how to safely convert the drive to exfat without losing data? The easiest way would be to rip it to the hard drive...

If you have a good upload, you can transfer the data to e.g. e-mail or some internet disk. I was looking for a good conversion program but found nothing.

If you do not have that much space, you can always perform the operation in installments. You will have several partitions on the disk, but the whole thing will work For example, if you have a 500gb disk, 400gb of which is occupied, then you create a 100gb partition and from these 400 you move 100 to the newly created partition, etc.

Well, I borrowed a laptop and downloaded it to the disk and format and back again. Subject to be closed
