OPML2RSS: splice up a batch of feeds in one go

Filed under: General, rss, opml

We all know we can go to Feed Digest and make some spliced feeds, but what if we have lots of feeds we want to splice, it’s a bit of a manual process…tough luck.
But if your feeds are already in an OPML file then there is a service that can help. Just whack in the URL of your OPML file into OPML2RSS and it will spit out a spliced feed.

It would be great if Feed Digest release this type of functionality, as we all trust and like Feed Digest…if I recall they are due for some new features, I hope OPML is in the mix.

If you use an RSS reader like Rojo, every tag has an RSS feed, meaning whatever feeds are within the tag, will be included in the spliced feed, so this may be your first go.

NOTE: the items in the OPML file have to be feeds, they can’t be normal links or text.

This is a pity, as I’ve asked this question repeatedly, give me a feed for an outline, whether the items are feeds, links, or text.

  1. I was speaking with Marjolein a few days ago and we spoke about this. We’re definitely looking at doing OPML import (and export!) to and from your digests in FeedDigest. It’s quite simple to add, but we’ll need to do some testing.
