Sahas at SkatterTech has a tutorial up on how to use Sony PSP's built-in Wi-Fi card to stream non-copyrighted music from your iTunes library to your PSP.

Here's what you need to get started:

* PSP With Firmware v2.60
* Networked XP Home/Pro Comp.
* WiFi (802.11b) Network Router
* Apple iTunes v6.0.4 Installed
* Songs in iTunes Music Library
* At Least 1 Playlist With Music

Check? Cool. Now let us go thru the five-step setup procedure that Sahas specifies:

1. Download iTunes-PSP-Server.exe and save it to your desktop.
2. Disable any firewalls and/or keep port 8080 open.
3. Launch iTunes and then click on the iTunes-PSP-Server after.
4. In IE/Firefox open the page “http://localhost:8080″
5. Setup is complete if an “iTunes RSS Server” page appeared.

OK, now we are getting there. But just in case the iTunes RSS Server page doesn't appear, Sahas asks you to make sure your firewall has authorized “iTunes-PSP-Server.exe” to access the internet completely. You may also want to add a rule into your firewall to keep port 8080 open.

A bit more grunt work lies ahead. You need to know the IP address of the machine running iTunes and the iTunes-PSP-Server. Some of you already know how to do this but here are Sahas' instructions for those of you who do not:

To find you Local Area Network (LAN) IP go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Click on your Network Card -> Support Tab. Your local IP address should look something like this “192.168.1.xxx”.

Another method is to go to Start -> Run… -> type “cmd” hit enter -> type “ipconfig” in the window. Your IP Address should be displayed there. Once the 5-Step Procedure is complete and you have found your Local IP Address, proceed to the next step.

OK, how's it rollin'? Are you ready for the PSP Setup Procedure? Well here you go:

1. Turn on your PSP and go to Network -> Internet Browser.
2. Enter “http://IPAddress:8080″ into the Address area.
3. When iTunes RSS Server appears add it to your bookmarks.
4. Now click on any orange RSS icon and “Add This Channel”.
5. Close Internet Browser and go to Network -> RSS Channel.
6. Select a playlist you added and YOUR’RE DONE!!!

And now, you are ready to rock- or whatever your musical taste is.

i didnt know u cud put itunes into ur psp. thats cool

Does this work only with iTunes, or would it also work as well for Windows Media Player, Musicmatch, Real Player, etc.?

So, this basically creates an RSS channel, not actually "installs" iTunes on the PSP, right?

any help for mac?

LOL...install Windows XP?

OMFG, I can do this the only problem is I got this BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! This is y I'm on my PSP! Ne1 know how 2 fix this, PM me.

wow, I never knew you could do this, I am going to do this now.

This freeking ROCKS it works great!!!

Now to get videos to stream also!!!!

Sounds really cool. I will have to try it!

if u got a laptop with itunes installed on it and a router on the normal computer how do i get to da laptop?

you just have to get the ip addy of the laptop to the psp

i want to do this so bad why do macs always get left out? i couldnt get the rockstar custom soundtracks either

More info for you Mac folks:
There is a method to do this with a macintosh machine, but you’ll need PPM/CPAN modules to do so. Here is the link for more information: http://trickster.bulknews.net/trac.cgi/wiki/ITunesRssServer

Ok, I just tried this, and it works as advertised...easy to do, just make sure that you note where it says "2. Enter “http://IPAddress:8080″ into the Address area." you DON'T enter "IPAdress" as the text, you use YOUR ip addy...found in the steps above. Excellent work, whoever created this app...finally, RSS feeds that work...

i dunno what this is: PPM/CPAN modules how do i find out if i have it

this sounds cool...too bad you have to update to 2.60 FW

Sorry man, can't help you there...I know very little about Macs. I Googled it for ya, and it looks like it has something to do with programming, compilers, etc. Something to do with Perl language, so unless you're building databases or doing programming on this Mac, you should be ok. I'm sure if you just make sure the latest updates for your OS are installed, then go here:

http://svn.bulknews.net/repos/trickster/tr...nes-rss-server/

and select the itunes-rss-server.pl link, that should run and install the module necessary.

i ll try

nice

nice

just comes up with a page of text,im stuck, anyone with a mac managed to do it?
