Concept:
Passively publish links (shortened) to any/all songs that a user listens to on any number of music services that can be found on the web as free-range MP3s. The idea is to get to a point where Playtapus writes directly to Twitter, but for now I am just using third-party services to do the work for me. Perhaps the easiest way currently to passively publish you entire listening history to Twitter is to:
- Generate meP3 feed from the Yahoo Pipes referenced here: meP3
- Copy the RSS feed for your results
- Create an account at Twitterfeed
- Set it up so that updateds from your meP3 RSS feed is being sent to your Twitter account of choice
- Prefix all tweets from this feed with "[play]" (this enables that PlayTwitter will know how to deal with it)
- Select that the URLs are shortened (I suggest tr.im, is.gd or bit.ly but most any will work)
- Test the feed and account to make sure they validate and then save
Note: Twitterfeed only updates every 30 minutes, and is limited to 5 updates each time. So, you will generally see blocks of a few songs post together.
