HOWTO Listen your mp3 from any computer with FON Gspace
At FON Labs we’ve upgraded the Gspace player (in Player mode) with a better one that allows to create playlists with mp3 files of your account.
Combining the new Gspace and FONBackup you will have an mp3 library of 4GB avaliable from any computer, anywhere in the world. Here are the steps:
1.CREATE A NEW GMAIL ACCOUNT
You can also use your Gmail personal account, but exists cases of blocked accounts for 24 hours (system abuse). I recommend you to create a new account at http://mail.google.com/mail/signup
2.DOWNLOAD FONBACKUP AND SYNC YOUR MP3 WITH GMAIL
Download FONBackup and configure it in order to sync your music folder with the new gmail account. You shold remain that nowadays gmail has a capacity of 4Gb aprox and a maximum file attachement of 20MB. If you upload mp3 files bigger than 19MB you won’t be able to listen them.
Also be careful with the name of files and folders. Don’t upload folders with length names (>30 chars) because Gspace cannot handle them.
Be prudent. I guess gmail may block your account if you send 500 emails in one day (FONBackup and Gspace sends one mail for each file/folder uploaded to gmail) of if you transfer more than 1GB in one day.
3.INSTALL LAST GSPACE VERSION
Download Gspace version 0.5.8 or above (http://www.getgspace.com), or upgrade your extension.
4.LISTEN YOUR MP3
Log into your Gmail account with Gspace extension, select Player mode and enjoy listening your music. You can add files and folders to the playlist.
Important: If you have installed Adobe Flash 9 plugin, first time you open Gspace you have to grant it in order to access remote files (mp3 files in gmail). There is a manual here
[…] Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Store and manage music with all those extra gigabytes in your Gmail account with previously mentioned Gmail File Space extension, now known simply as Gspace. Just install the extension, upload some music, and then enter Player mode. From there you can create playlists from the music you’ve uploaded and play them in the embedded flash player. It’s a bit of a hassle setting Flash to play files from Gmail (you have to change your Global Flash settings), but if you jump through the hoops it’s pretty cool to be able to store music and build playlists from your Gmail account.
