What is RSS
RSS is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites that interest you. Instead of having to visit the websites to see if new articles or content is available you can use RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) and get told every time they have something new.
DJDownload now offers RSS feeds for each of its dance genre's and a general feed for breaking news so that you can know the second a new track or label is added to give you the inside track & keep you one step ahead of the pack!
How can I make use of RSS
There are a number of ways you can make use of RSS: you can download a program called a News Reader which displays RSS Feed information, you can use a web based RSS Reader or you can use the built in RSS Features of Mozilla Firefox internet browser.

How do I use RSS in Mozilla Firefox
If you are using Mozilla Firefox as your internet browser you will see this icon: 
on the bottom right corner of the browser when RSS feeds are available (RSS Feeds are called Live Bookmarks in Mozilla).
Clicking on the icon will display a list of feeds that you can subscribe to; clicking on a feed will add the feed to your Bookmarks. These live bookmarks can be viewed at anytime and display a summary of the latest feed information without having to browse to the website.
