Kinoma Notes

Kinoma Player — more than any other mobile media player for any plat­form — is all about stan­dards.

One of the great things about stan­dards is that, like Lego bricks, you can snap together things that “speak” the same stan­dards even if those things weren’t specif­i­cally cre­ated for each other.

For exam­ple, Deli­cious (cur­rently under­go­ing a name change from “de.licio.us”) is Yahoo!‘s social book­mark­ing site. It’s super-popular, with around 3 mil­lion reg­is­tered users and 100 mil­lion unique book­marked URLs.

Kinoma Player and Deli­cious both speak RSS, the most pop­u­lar for­mat for text and media feeds. Because of that, we can use Deli­cious to eas­ily cre­ate audio feeds for Kinoma Player! Here’s how…

First, reg­is­ter for Deli­cious if you’re not already a mem­ber. It took me only a cou­ple min­utes to reg­is­ter, get my con­fir­ma­tion email, and then con­firm my registration.

Then, book­mark some audio URLs for your per­sonal Kinoma Player feed.

Finally, book­mark this URL in Kinoma Player (replac­ing user­name with your Deli­cious username):

http://delicious.com/rss/user­name/system:media:audio

Voila! Now you have your very own Kinoma Player audio feed that you can use your­self and also share with oth­ers. Best of all, your new feed will auto­mat­i­cally update as you add more audio links.
