Turning Playlist.com into Podcasts and Playing Them on Cell Phones
Posted May 10, 2009 – 9:00 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in ProgrammingPlayList.com is a website that allows anyone to put together a playlist of their music and then share it via their Facebook/Myspace/etc page via an embedded flash Playlist. A nifty hack allows you to play a PlayList.com as a podcast or even via a cell phone.
1. Transform PlayList.com’s ASX playlist into Podcast RSS via this link:
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/online_xslt/xslt?xslfile=http://www.shaftek.org/code/asx2rss/asx2rss.xsl&xmlfile=http://www.playlist.com/playlist/XXXXXXXX/asx
Where XXXXXXX is the Playlist.com user ID.
2. Use the resulting postcast with your podcatcher, or mobile phone. Or even cooler, use PodLinez.com or FoneShow to listen over a regular phone.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any illegal behavior that results. You should keep in mind that PlayList.com may be indexing illegal music which you will end up downloading via the podcast RSS. It is your responsiblity to check.
