iFeedPod: Feed Your iPod
RSS is great; it saves you having to surf around hundreds of websites to get news. An RSS reader pulls all your news into one place and we’ve reviewed many here at MacApper (NewsFire, a reader roundup, Feeder, and NetNewsWire).
However, what if you don’t have time to read them while at your computer? That’s where iFeedPod comes in. It’s a small app which syncs your feeds to your iPod using the ‘Notes’ section. This allows you to read your RSS feeds whenever it’s most convenient for you. Sound good?
You simply add the RSS feed address (may i suggest the MacApper RSS feed) either by typing them in, or importing a .opml file. A .opml can be exported from many RSS readers and it simply gives a list of the addresses so you don’t have to type them all into iFeedPod if you already use a RSS reader. When you next have your iPod plugged in you simply press ’sync’ and it moves all your feeds to your iPod as ‘Notes’.
iFeedPod simple app, however I think you should be able to limit the number of stories from each feed it grabs (i.e. latest 10 posts from ‘MacApper’). Otherwise this is a great app which is well worth downloading if you read a lot of RSS feeds. iFeedPod is donationware, and is available from Carnglas software here
So is it just the feed titles or does it have an opton to download even more?
Sorry, this wasn’t made clear in the article; it syncs the whole feed, minus pictures, to your iPod, so you can read it on the go!
Thanks for the clarification…
that’s a nice feature.
Downloading it right now.
