RSS News Feeds
Ever wonder what those orange icons mean? You find them on Web sites that provide a steady stream, or "feed," of news and information, as Sound Medicine does. The orange icons enable you to subscribe to a feed, so you can get the info on your desktop as it becomes available.
In order to subscribe to a feed, you need a "news aggregator." An aggregator is simply software that displays the feeds in abstract form for quick perusal and easy access via hyperlink. We recommend the Bloglines service. It is free, requires no downloading, and is simple to use. Just register, set up some subscriptions, and you are off! More information on aggregators can be found by clicking here.

Subscribe to the podcast
Podcast aggregators are programs such as iTunes, Juice (formerly known as iPodder) and Odeo. A podcast is a special type of feed for audio files. Podcast subscribers get automatic downloads of audio files, which they can listen to either on their computer with mp3 software such as iTunes or with a portable mp3 player such as iPod.
