Newzie, your feature-rich news aggregator

 WOW.  Thanks Travis, for turning me on to this app.  I've posted in the past about my frustration with news readers.  I've never found one that I consider to be perfect.  So far, I've found Newzie to be awesome.  Literally every time I find something to complain about I find it has some method of doing things that solves the problem.  It ranks posts by most recent and still shows how many are unread.  It has multiple ways to consolidate views, it can be reduced to just a slim panel or even a ticker.  It is not intrusive nor does it bog down your machine or connection.  The interface is clean and mostly customizable.  It even does interesting things like show how many feeds you read per day, etc.

It doesn't really have a great method of dealing with attachments on an automatic basis but I've basically decided there is no good program out there to handle attachments (including iTunes, I tried it too).  I'm looking for something that separates audio, video, photos, and files, deals with setting metadata and creating playlists, and manages archival well.  So for now "Save as Target" within IE RSS is still working fine.

The only two things I wish I could improve are moving "mark all as read" and "delete all" off the sub menu when you right-click a feed name, up to the first set of menu choices.  I also REALLY wish it would integrate with the Vista central OPML.

    Have you checked out RSS Bandit? I've lived by it for a while now. It does some of what you are looking for, but of course, not all. For instance, it will download podcasts and add them to a WMP playlist. Check it out if you havne't recently. http://www.rssbandit.org/

    Hey Leo!  I was an avid RSS Bandit fan for years.  My reason for switching was mostly the Newzie interface.  I like that it ranks by most recent post and gives me some useless tools like the ticker and items per day graphs, etc, that I shamefully enjoy using.  If/when Bandit decides to use the central Vista RSS feed I would be motivated to switch back.  Newzie doesn't use it either.  Also, if Outlook would let me universally apply PST storage and archiving rules across all my feeds with one parent dialogue, I would use it instead of either Bandit or Newzie!
