RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based Web-content syndication format used to make staying on top of your favorite websites easy. How? By sending you only the news you care about, directly. You subscribe to "feeds" or topics for specific artists (such as Bobaflex), and any time we publish something new about them (articles, news, etc...), your RSS reader will display it automatically without you having to do anything! It's an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you (such as news alerts & announcements for Bobaflex) is posted on this site. We currently use RSS 2.0 to syndicate our news.

To use RSS, you will need to first download a special RSS news reader that will allow you to collect and display RSS feeds. Many readers are available, and most are free. You'll find some options to choose from below:

• Anyone with a Google Desktop or Google Homepage can subscribe to Eclipse Records' RSS feeds by clicking on the myGoogle button. This will automatically add the particular feed to you page through the Google Reader. If you don't have a Google reader account, registration is free at reader.google.com.
  
• Anyone with a MyYahoo account can subscribe to Eclipse Records' RSS feeds by clicking on the myYahoo button. This will automatically add the particular feed to your MyYahoo page. If you don't have a MyYahoo page, registration is free at my.yahoo.com.
  
• You can also use an RSS-savy web browser which can handle RSS feeds, such as Mozilla's Firefox for PC, Mac, and Linux. The best thing about this is it's free.
  
• FeedDemon is a standalone RSS reader that you can purchase for a small fee or download for a free 20 day trial. You can get more info at about FeedDemon by clicking here.
  
• Pluck is an application that works as an add-on to the Internet Explorer browser. In addition to being an RSS reader, Pluck has several other applications to help search, retrieve, organize, and share content. Pluck is offered for free. Click here for more information about Pluck.
