Tutorial – Stream Your MP3 From Anywhere On the Earth

Wuxsvan from Gamespot forum has posted a guide to enable you steaming your MP3s using the RSS function of the v2.6 PSP. Here is the post:

“I have figured out a way to stream my entire mp3 collection from any hot spot connected PSP.  With the new feature RSS in the 2.6 version update, you can stream any RSS feed from the net.  All i did was copy and paste the samples that Sony had on there site and edit the mp3 files to point to my home pc, where i currently run my own server.  This allows me to access over 20 gigs of mp3s from anywhere in the world, as long as i have a wireless connection with my PSP.  THAT MEANS NO NEED FOR A MEMORY STICK!!! holy piss this is AWESOME!!

This is the link to the Sony XML code. http://www.playstation.com/manual/psp/rss/sample_ch.xml First just highlight and copy it and paste it in a txt editor like Notepad.    All you have to do is replace the line that has sony’s mp3 to an http:// location that has YOUR mp3. This is the line in the code

^^^^change this.   After you finish your changes, make sure you save the .txt file to an .xml file OR PSP WONT READ IT. 

After you get your get your xml file lets say you named it “music.txt” you would change to “music.xml”  you just put ur “music.xml” on a webserver, then just get online with ur PSP and go that that site for example www.mysite.com/music.xml and it will find ur file and ask if you want to add the RSS feed to your PSP.  Just say yes and log off the net and go to the RSS feature under your network section on your PSP and load up ur mp3 file and it will stream from the net!!!  

I know this sounds complicated, but it helps to have your own server, which you can make for free as long as you have windows XP.  It has Internet Information Server built right into it.  You can add mp3 files there and share your entire collection to your PSP and bye bye mem sticks!”

Here are some alternations you can use in the guide above.

1, Use Altova XMLSpy to edit .XML files. ItÂ’s an awesome WYSIWYG tool for editing XML files. Messing with the code itself is sort of troublesome 😉

2, Use a dynamic domain name service such as Peanut Hull, to get a fixed domain name for easier access than the IP address itself. You all know that, I bet 😛

Thanks for the email heads-up, Sean! =D
