A couple of nights ago I figured out how to create my own soundtrack for Burnout Paradise. Burnout Paradise allows you to choose a playlist directly from the PS3 as your custom soundtrack. You can find this in game by pressing the right digital pad and then scrolling down to [Soundtrack]. In order to get the populated playlist on your PS3, you’ll either have to rip the music CDs directly to your PS3 or you can copy a bunch of music via USB memory stick. To do this you need to be in the main menu of your PS3 under the “Music” section. You choose the USB stick then click the (/\) triangle button and then choose copy. All of the options for copying your music then appear. You can then create a playlist after you’ve copied your music over. The trick is that you need to have your memory stick formatted Fat32 and the music files must be in a folder on that stick. I created a folder called Music on my memory stick and dumped everything I wanted in.

I now have a James Bond playlist for use in Burnout Paradise.
