Research direction
Examine existing album rippers in the codebase, particularly in the /src/main/java/com/rarchives/ripme/ripper/ directory. Implement RSS feed parsing using a Java library like Rome or the built in java.net.URL. Consider adding a new ripper class similar to existing ones and test with a sample RSS feed.
