Virtual private networks (VPN) are fun, that's the easiest way to do it.

 

or just make your own RSS channel

 

how do you make your own rss channel? i dont know how?

 

Mind explaining that? As I'm not quite sure what exactly you're talking about. Thanks.

 

I hope this is what you are looking for in any case it's a great program. If you need help installing it let me know.

MyTunes RSS

 

Thanks for that. *runs off to experiment*

 

yea i dl it but i can only host the rss server i dont know how to access it... help plz

 

Well, if you've bothered to look around the program, you'll have found that when you access it (it shows your ip address in the program) you have 3 choices.

1. RSS Feed
- open the feed in google reader. (see attachment)
* make sure you use the public ip if you're behind a router [not 192.168.*.*]

2. .m3u playlist
- download this, open it in itunes, and all of your songs will be imported as seperate streams.

3. download
- download the song itself onto the computer, self explainatory.

 

Thanks tomi, great instructions. How do you like the program btw?

 

Pretty nice. Of course, with my 13k song library, RSS isn't always the best way to go (there's a reason the border community playlist is in the screenshot, not my whole library), since it takes so long to load everything, it gets crazy.

But overall, it's a nifty application. I wonder if I can access it from school. Hmm.

 

Thats the program I was thinking of, its really useful if you have a PSP, and dont have much space, if you dont mind buffer times.

 

If anyone wants a demo: http://safta.ath.cx:8080 (password is tm)

edit: google reader doesn't seem to like the the feeds that are over 100 songs, lmfao.

 

Yeah with my 10k+ library even my Jinzora server running on Apache was slow so I had to cut back on the songs. Check it out at www.colinsmusic.com (If the server is running)

 

Hm, never heard of Jinzora before. How is it?

Also, what are you using to get your own domain name to point to your IP?

 

Jinzora

It's a memory hog... runs on MySQL and PHP off of an Apache server. It took a total of 5 hours to set up both the server and Jinzora, but you could probably do it in less. I wanted the server to be very secure. Its cool how people can download songs or entire albums, not just stream them. BTW if the server isn't running it because of those earthquakes we've been having here in Maui. We had two power outages today alone.

As far as how I have a domain connected to my IP, I used domain forwarding because colinsmusic.com sounds so much more classy than 67.58.144.134:80.

Anyway, feel free to ask me anything about setting up a server. The quick and easy/less secure way is to download XAMPP. Have fun.

 

I know how to set up a WAMP server, already have one running actually.

I tried setting up Jinzora, but I ran into a whole shitload of PHP errors about undefined classes, etc. Rather strange, as I've tried both the stable version and the current alpha version, and they both give me errors. I guess it's my configuration. I'll do some tweaking around when I get time.

Domain forwarding, hmm. That wouldn't exactly work for a dynamic IP, eh? =/ Oh well, I'll stick with dyndns for now.

 

thanks alot, this is really helpful!
