Hi all, 

Here is a random example of an RSS feed with MP3 files... I can download an MP3 file by right clicking on one of the episodes - but is there a way for me to say 'download all MP3 files in this RSS feed together' ie instead of one by one?    

Thanks

Assuming you're using Opera, open https://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http://feeds.feedburner.com/boundless/podcast?n=300 (since that particular feed has ~233 items),
press ctrl-j to open the links list, type .mp3 to filter the links, press tab, press shift+end, right click on one and select save to download folder.

If using a properly configured Firefox, open the same URL (after having installing an addon such as downthemall), right click on the page , select downthemall , filter by .mp3, download.

@ Matti thanks for your reply. Actually that feed was just an example. The real feeds (on my own podcast) will have about 20 files each. If possible I would like to have at least one method that is the same for all browsers rather than different instructions for each browser. If feedburner can't do this I wonder if something like https://gpodder.net/ could do it.

Thanks

There really isn't one method that'd do that. Not all browser are able to display/preview atom/rss feeds correctly/on their own.
You might find a download manager that supports most of the major dozen or so browsers.
Not all feeds will have their entire history cached in GReader if nobody subscribed to them early enough,
so the only way would be to view the pages themselves - with the exception of Blogger-based blogs, where you could add ?max-results=500 
to the end of the feed URL to display the 500 newest posts.

Of course, you could just not use a browser at all, instead use a proper web crawler such as wget or HTTrack.

@ Matti one of my RSS feeds is for the latest content but I think I can have multiple other RSS feeds which I can define as I please for example one RSS feed with content about dogs and another with content about cats both irrespective of the date of the content. So it is easy for me to make RSS feeds but not easy for people to say 'download all MP3 files in this feed'. It seems that feedburner does not allow this. I know that the http://gpodder.org/ app allows this but some people don't like installing apps (or using wget etc).

Thanks
