RSS enclosures are a way of attaching multimedia files to RSS feeds by providing the URL of a file associated with a feed item, such as an MP3 file to a music recommendation or a photo to a diary entry. Unlike e-mail attachments, enclosures are merely hyperlinks to files, the actual data is not embedded into the feed. Support and implementation among aggregators varies: if the software understands the specified file format, it may automatically download and display the content, otherwise provide a link to it or silently ignore it.
RSS enclosures are used for podcasting (distributing audio-files over the Internet using syndication feeds).
To attach a multimedia file to a feed item select this item in the navigation Tree and click "Podcasting" button on the lower toolbar.
