To add an RSS feed, I enter the source RSS feed URL into Easy RSS Mixer and click the button to search for feed. The response is "Easy RSS Mixer could not find a RSS feed. Please check if you have entered right address and internet connection." For good RSS feeds, the same search results in the feed being added to a list of feeds to be combined. Bottom line on this point, the developer should check their directory of RSS feeds for dead URLS.

David, #11 and #35, has a proper understanding of the value of Easy RSS Mixer. If you're a Web site developer, this will allow you to combine information (feeds) from several Internet sources to create a unique mix of "fresh" content for display on your site. RSS feeds are complex looking files and one would not want to write them manually. Tools, like Easy RSS Mixer, automate the process. If you don't manage a Web site, I doubt that you've ever created an RSS feed and you probably won't appreciate an application like this one. A clue to the application's purpose is the "built-in FTP client" described above. It allows for uploading to your Web site. Feed readers download content for you to enjoy. The description should have mentioned why you might want to combine RSS feeds: If you have a nice mix of RSS feeds that you would like to share with the world, RSS Mixer allows you to quickly combine them into one feed and make that content available to your Web site visitors. When I ran Easy RSS Mixer the first time it said "Evaluation Version" in the Title Bar. After I played around with it, closed it, and reopened it, the "Evaluation" label was gone. As David said, it didn't work for me with the default output folder. So create your own output folder before you create a feed. The "built-in" RSS directory is apparently a Web site that Easy RSS Mixer sent me to, UncleFeed. UncleFeed has a lot of RSS feeds but in the short time I was there, I found that many of the feeds are no good. I was not able to find the "previewer" and can only guess as to whether I found the "synonymizer" because it is not clearly labeled anywhere that I could find. I just emailed the company about these two items. If you don't know what a synonymizer is and want to know, Google it.
