Generate RSS Channels with the RSS XMLister v1.0

August 11, 2006

Over at our forums, JoshDB has developed a new way for PSP users to upload and share music. Rather than go through the process of making our own virtual server, the XMLister lets you upload your music to your own webhost.

One of the nice things JoshDB has also mentioned is a way to get free webhosting for the users who don’t have any webspace of their own, as well as even offering a small portion of his to let people try out program for themselves. Download it, and see what you think.

Here are the release notes for the RSS XMLister 1.0:

What does it do?

This program generates an XML list of an online directory that can be played through the PSP’s 2.6 RSS Channel feature. It’s quick and easy to use, it allows complete customization, and also allows you to load/edit existing XML lists, as well.

How does it work?

To create your own RSS channel, just follow these steps:

1. Upload your audio files to your webspace. Make sure you put them into an empty directory, there must be no index.html present.
2. Run RSS XMLister and choose ‘Generate a list from an online directory’ and input the necesary information.
3. Upload your XML file to your webspace.
4. On your PSP, browse to the XML file you uploaded. Add the channel and enjoy!

Other Notes:

The download is a .exe file. You can put it on your desktop or put it in a different folder. When an XML file is created, it is put in the same directory that the .exe resides in. In later versions this may be changed.
