Listen to RSS News on Your iPod

Posted by pudge on Monday May 26, 2003 @10:58PM from the news-schmooze dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Adam Tow and Alex King have announced the availability of Read it to Me 1.0, which creates a playlist of MP3 files in iTunes from your unread RSS news headlines in NetNewsWire that you can sync to your iPod. The software utilizes Apple's Text-to-Speech capability and requires Mac OS X 10.2.6 or higher and the full version of NetNewsWire." But if you use Victoria's voice to read http://apple.slashdot.org/apple.rss to you, I'll look at you funny.

It is not just the headlines, it is also the descriptions. The Slashdot .rss files have the first n characters of the article (not the whole article; c'est la vie).
