About RSS Feeds and Podcasts
Overview
RSS is a standard format (in XML) for delivering content
that changes on a regular basis. Content is delivered in
small chunks, generally a synopsis, preview, or headline.
This requires a web browser plus a suitable RSS reader
software.
Podcasting is a way to ’subscribe’ to audio programs and
have them delivered to your personal computer. As a
subscriber to U.S. Embassy Brussels podcasts you can
automatically receive the latest edition of available
programs.
These materials are available via syndication software
that checks for the most current files of your choosing. The
MP3 player is connected to a computer, the computer connects
to the internet. The freely available software on the
computer finds selected podcasts to download to the MP3
player, so the user can disconnect the MP3 player and listen
to the podcasts at any time.
Subscribe to our podcasts

Subscribe to our RSS feeds
To subscribe to a featured RSS feed add the address of
the feed to your bookmarks. It is often best to use one
bookmark folder to contain all such subscribed feeds. Your
RSS reader software can then examine that folder for feed
information.
Downloading MP3 audio files
To listen to the most recent programs, users without a
portable MP3 player may listen to audio files by
right-clicking on the 'download' link and then saving to
your personal computer. Once you've downloaded the file you
can listen to it at your own convenience. |
