Pandora streaming music on PSP

[Lucifersam]

Want Pandora on your PSP? Well there is, (sort of), a way...

Pandora doesn't stream in the same way as other online radio - it uses Flash Local Storage. If you use Firefox - open Pandora, then find the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\plugtmp-#

Where USERNAME is your user, and # is the largest number for the plugtmp directories you can find.

In here there's files called

access
access-1
access-2
.......

These are mp3 files of the tunes you're listening to!

Share this directory, make a virtual directory caled Pandora point to this directory in IIS, knock up a quick ASP script, (like the one below), to create an rss feed to these files and an html page with a link to add this feed and voila!

Unfortunately, I think Pandora stops after a certain amount of time with no feedback - but until the PSP has Flash support, it's better than nothing!

[HTML]
<%
Response.ContentType="tex t/xml"

Dim s
s = 0

Function MakeRSS()
do while s < 100

if s = 0 then
tempTitle = "access"
else
tempTitle = "access-" + LTrim(s)
end if
s = s + 1

Response.Write("<item>" & chr(13))
Response.Write("<title>" & s & "</title>" & chr(13))
Response.Write("<link>htt p://www.playstation.com/manual/psp/rss/</link>" & chr(13))
Response.Write("<descript ion>" & s & "</description>" & chr(13))
Response.Write("<author>" & s & "</author>" & chr(13))

Response.Write("<enclosur e url=""http://<your ip address here>/Pandora/" & tempTitle & """ type=""audio/mp3""></enclosure>" & chr(13))
Response.Write("</item>" & chr(13))

End Function

I don't quite understand. What program would we run on our PSP?

Sorry - should have been clearer - you need IIS running on your PC, (this thread should help), save the ASP code above as pandora.asp in the /inetpub/wwwroot/ folder, then make an html file with a link to the ASP file:

[HTML]<a href="http://<your ip number>/pandora.asp">Pandora</a>[/HTML]

Click on this and it adds an RSS feed which will let you listen to the tunes on the PSP as they are downloaded onto your PC...

So I'm assuming you need 2.6 for this considering it's an RSS Feeder.
