reader

I'm creating an application that generates RSS feeds that include an <enclosure> (for showing an audio player).

Since RSS readers are kinda flaky, in my experience, I'd like to test how my feeds look in as many readers as possible.

I only use Google Reader. What other RSS readers (websites or installable apps, for Windows, Linux AND Mac) are popular? Which are the ones I must test on?

Thanks!
Daniel
