Lazy days and easy ways

RSS on PSP is hotting up at this time of the year with gigs, movies, style, fashion, travel and the uplifting feel of the summer.

So much to enjoy and so little time. What will happen if it all passes you by? Well never forgot the beauty of RSS with PSP and how it can keep you in the know and up-to-date.

RSS, which stands for Really Simply Syndication, allows you to create a direct link to your favourite audio or video content on web pages. The content is accessed over the Internet and streamed on or downloaded to your PSP.

Generally the content is broadcast on a regular basis and is about a specific subject. It can be news, view, reviews, or just entertainment. The depth of content that is available is deeper that the big blue sea and RSS can channel the information you want to your PSP.

Once set up, an RSS feed will provide the latest audio or video episode automatically, and previous items will be listed. RSS feeds can be set to download automatically so all you have to do is play the content at your leisure to be informed of what's on, in and happening this summer.

To set up an RSS link, either enter your favourite RSS URL into the PSP system's Internet Browser or navigate to a web page with an RSS button. Once entered or navigated to, PSP will prompt you to add the stream as one of your RSS channels. Here are a few links to get you started.
