With the added support for RSS feeds, it only makes sense to take advantage of this feature. The best way, in my opinion, is to make your music library on your computer available to your PSP. This can be accomplished in a short amount of time.
This is just one way to do it. There are other servers that you use. I've tried Apache and didn't like it very much. I've also been told to use Windows IIS, but I am using Windows XP Home Edition, so that option isn't available to me.
This is a walkthrough of one way to make your music library available to your PSP, wirelessly. It is in baby steps, so it makes it a bit easier for people who have had trouble with this kind of thing.
Once you download the PSP RSS Feeder, extract the contents to the folder with all of your music. The feeder will allow you to select which song to listen to. For organization purposes, I used MP3Organizer to put my music into folders based on "Artist". You don't have to do this, but I find it to be much easier to navigate and find what I want.
That is all you need to do with the PSP RSS Feeder.
Installing PHP5
After you download PHP5, run the installer. Once installation has complete, move onto setting up the server. Remember the install directory that you use because you'll need it later. By default, it is C:PHP.
Installing and Configuring The Web Server
Download the free version of Abyss (X1). During the installation of the server, you'll be promted to make a username and password for access to the console. Use something that you can easily remember. Go to the configuration page in your web browser (localhost:9999 by default).
Click the "Configure" button next to "Default Host On Port 80" in the hosts table. Then select "General" and change the Documents Path to the folder with your music in it. Click OK.
Then click on "Scripting Parameters". Make sure that "Enable Script Execution" is checked. On the "Interpreters" table, click "Add". For the "Interpreter" field, click "Browse" and find the file "php-cgi.exe". It is in the folder that you installed PHP5 ("C:PHPphp-cgi.exe", by default). Change the "Type" drop down menu to "PHP Style". Make sure that "Use the associated extensions to automatically update the Script Paths" is checked. At the "Associated Extensions" table, add "php" to the list (again, leaving out the quotes).
On the same page is a table called "Custom Environmental Variables". Click Add and enter these values:
If you didn't put your MP3s into folders, your page will look different, but it's not a big deal.
Using It With Your PSP
If you are in the same network as the computer that is running the server, all you need to do to access your RSS Feed is enter your local IP address into the PSP Web Browser. If you don't know your local IP address, do this:
Go to "Start > Run > CMD > ipconfig" and hit enter. It will say IP Address and then some numbers. In my case, it's 192.168.x.xx. It depends on what kind of router/access point you are using.
If you want to access your music library from outside of the network (over the internet), then you need to either use your IP that is provided by your ISP, or use a DNS service, such as no-ip.org, to bind a domain (yourdomain.no-ip.org) to your IP address. They have several subdomains to choose from, and the service is free.
put the "index.php" and the "includes" folder into the root of you music files....(the place where you want to access your music)....If you Read the readme file it will explain more...
What you are seeing is a directory listing of your folders that is created from the abyss webserver....
goodluck
when you open the zip file called "psp_rss_1.0p" from DCLVXI website you will see a folder called "psp_rss" inside of that you see two folders and two files.... disregard the folder called "artist_name" it is for an example... this is where the "index.php" and the folder "includes" resides....also the readme file... place the "index.php" and the "includes" folder in the same folder as your music and it will do the rest.
can some one please send me index.php with the adjustsment i believe this may be my problem and unable to find the lines to fix the solution which i have been searching forever.
that's because the latest version doesn't need that fix...
what exactly is going wrong? I have no experience with Abyss myself, but maybe it's something simple or someone else knows (northwst?)
Sorry been busy with other things... I am using DCLXVI's version "p" this works great with no problems.... if you are having connection issues check your setting in Abyss and your router.. I cannot send you my index.php because DCLXVI and I have made some changes specific to my site...(they only pertain to a different login script...not how it functions).I would not want this copy floating around...sorry.
same way as for abyss, as long as you have php 4.3 or higher installed on your server, nothing needs to be set for apache, but maybe some preferences in the header of index.php, like renaming and image resizing etc..
