iTunes 4.9 w. podcasts1 min read

oh goodie, me thinks, but when i try to publish my podcast i notice that

A. somebody has already done it [which is great] and
B. one of the 2 links does not seem to work propper, and i suspect its the wp.rss link, is it?

questions:
anybody know what happend here?
who published it? why did the wp-rss link not work?
i would like to edit the title and the description, but i can’t seem to do that…
how can i switch the image? i would like this one to go in there…
how can i switch the category? but probably audio blog is all there is.. comedy? hmm
i would like the author to be a link to my contact page.
what to do to make the wp-rss link work?
will i get in trouble now for not paying royalties?
who pays my ticket to brasil?

edit:

okay. so i got it all wrong. it appears that iTunes picks up the rss feed as is, plus they have introduced a few iTunes specific tags that will display an image, author info and all that junk.
another problem seems to be that iTunes ignores my category specific rss-feed.

in other words, it can pick up:
http://pieceoplastic.com/wp-rss2.php
but it ignores:
https://pieceoplastic.com/feed

so right now, i am attempting to make an iTunes specific rss feed, i’ll call it wp-rss2istunes.php, that will have all the iTunes specific tags and will only pick up the pieceocast category. i found kevin devin’s instructions @ podcasting yahoo group on how to adapt all the rss file. but i still have to figure out how to limit it to just pick up that one category. i am not sure if that will work. keep you posted…

  1. muss dich enttäuschen. ich wars nicht und hab auch keine ahnung von shopping applikationen. aber ich komm sonst mit nach brasilien, damits nicht öde wird.

  2. dein bildli ist bei mir auf alle fälle drin, angemeldet hab ichs auch nicht, vielleicht jmd. bei apple selber, was sagen deine referer von letzter woche dazu (bei einigen soll ja “itunes 4.9” in den agents aufgetaucht sein.)
    ach, und wenn du dann in brasilien bist, ich komm dich im september besuchen 🙂

  4. thanx kus and habi. i believe we will be having fun in brasil… hmm, habi, maybe apple added my feed? and now to change these parameters like the image i need to dig into the php of my rss feeds, huh? oh lordy… thanx for that link, kus…

    somewhere else i made this comment:
    or why not go for iPodder [without the x] or FireANT [antisnottv.tv], both freeware podcasting appz, that are maybe less elegant than iPodderX but still do the job. and FireANT is very cute and works well with vlogs!
    i think iTunes going for podcasting has very clearly two sides to the sword. on one hand it will help podcasting make it – major. but on the other hand it comes into it with the usual “we’re the big guys here” attitude. like why do my rss feeds that worked perfectly with all the other appz all of sudden stopped working with iTunes? trying to crush the competition?
    for me as a podcaster, iTunes is a necessary evil that i can’t avoid. now i have to figure out how to get this to work, and spend a whole morning on it that i dont have.

  5. i will not destroy my feeds with tags. personaly i don’t think itunes will be the killer application for podcasts, but we’ll see.

  6. yeah, i will definitely not destroy my feeds either, but currently i am working on a itunes specific feed. lets see if that makes sense…

    well apple certainly has got the muscle power to make iTunes the killer app, but you are right, at this point it is speculative.

    oh and yes habi! i will go see the rapping migros verkäuferin on friday!
