Musical RSS feed

I HAVE DONE IT! i have coded an RSS generator in PHP to create an RSS feed to all of my new songs. Every time i upload a new song, the RSS feed is updated.

Blackhole's Music

It has a feed image, a feed name, a feed description, even categories for each album! The one thing it doesn't have is when i uploaded the song, which isn't currently stored information. The song name links directly to the hosted file, for your listening pleasure. I usually upload new songs every 3 days.

Go me! :D

Internet Explorer 6 (unmodded) can't display RSS feeds, download Opera or Firefox.

Is firefox your answer for everything?

Seems it's either "get firefox" or "get mac"...
