Or you could just use the WP plugin that I wrote… it’ll give you more control on how it looks.

Check out my site to see it in action.

RESPONSE: Looks cool - I’ll have to try it out sometime soon! –Brian

Yeah, understandable. Best I’ve managed is to get all the entries in one paragraph separated by tags.

RESPONSE: Well, I got it to look good, but it doesn’t do caching so you can end up with soem times where you have NO songs to display. I’d rather have a non-realtime list that is always there than to have it be realtime but potentially empty at times. –Brian

Hey there, just thought I’d let you know that http://www.feedjumbler.com seems to do realtime rss to html conversions. It’s working fine for me but I havent really been able to get it to look all that great, though using a css file has helped. Then again, I’m not using php.

If you’d like to have a look: http://tinyurl.com/76p9v

Hope this helps in some way.

Cheers.

RESPONSE: The realtime aspect of FeedJumbler is appealing, but the formatting limitations make it unusable for me. It makes each entry as a paragraph. I need it as an HTML list to use it on my webpage.

Meh, of course. Xanga has to be complicated and after all that, they don’t even support any of the coding. Javascript won’t even do the trick there! I should have figured. Thanks for your help anyway. Stupid Xanga…

This is very informative, and I went to the site you mentioned to get an account, but I couldn’t find where to sign up. Are you familiar with Xanga? If so, do you think Xanga would support this type of thing? Because I would like a self-updating recently played list to show up on my Xanga in a div layer under my profile, like the one you have. I just don’t know where to get the account for FeedDigest. Help with this would be muchly appreciated. (I signed up on the forums thinking it would let me onto the main page, since I saw no sign up page on the main site, but that didn’t work either…)

RESPONSE: Just put in your feed on the front page - on the next page , you can customize it and sign up for a free account. –Brian

I have had this for a while, but if you notice, it will not refresh with your 10 most recent tracks in your audioscrobbler feed.

Sometimes I get 6, 7, 8, 9, but never 10. Change your tagging to show the date / time played, you will see what I mean. The top few will be recent, but the bottom ones will be older stongs from various times earlier in the day.

RESPONSE: You bring up a good point. The most frequent you can set a free Feeddigest to update is every 30 minutes so you only get snapshots of what you are listening to - you don’t get a running list. –Brian
