umm i made an mp3 database/player using the fmod module before. i'm not sure if they'll work for c tho since mine was in C++. And as for pictures, i'd use directx, which is again C++. is this a project for school?

DirectX is actually language independent. COM can be used in C as well as C++.

Sorry dude, the most I can advise you to do is use SDL (and it's SDL_Image library) with OpenGL. They are well suited to the tasks, not to mention, open source as well. They will also work on your PSP, I'm sure.
