Title: RSS Feed Support by MC?
Post by: Dutch Peter on August 20, 2007, 12:12:46 pm

I am thinking on buying a nice RSS feed program. Like FeedDemon for example.
Is there any chance that MC will support RSS feeds in the future?
In terms of Multi Media Support that would be a nice additional area to cover.

I mean that MC would have a RSS reading functionality in the future,  :)

(If FeedDemon is not worth the money, what is?)

OK, you mean w smartslist and so on...would be interesting


feedreader (.com) is for RSS what MC is for mediafiles  :) but free

but also it depends how you are working with feeds and how many...FeedDeamon can't aggregate and can only group feeds
one level...

but if you don't need an advanced Reader like feedreader...you can try GreatNews http://www.curiostudio.com/index.html
free as well... :)

i'm also really impressed by RSS ticker (firefox extension) and helps me a lot...but sort of another kind of reader



..my 2 cents

I'm new to using RSS Feeds but I've been very happy the past month with http://www.netvibes.com. Works anywhere as long as I have a browser.

jupp also Googles reader works for a couple of feeds...but if you have +300 feeds then you need something else  :)

I started this thread to find out if more people would like MC to be able to manage RSS feeds (like feeddemn, netvibes, etc.)
Could we go back to that thought?!

Sorry for straying from your subject but the original question was "Is there any chance that MC will support RSS feeds in the future?" That only JRiver can answer. As to if we would like MC to manage RSS feeds, it probably makes sense since it does Podcasts already which is pretty much the same thing, but I probably wouldn't use it. I like the ability to read some of my feeds in the morning at home and then uh, reading the rest during lunch, at work and it (Netvibes) remembering which ones I had read before.
