Q: Podcasts Artwork not showing in Itunes
Hi Guys,
I have podcasts hosted from my wordpress server. I have the feeds validated and Itunes accept them but for some reason only Itunes does not show the Artwork.
The image is 1500 x 1500 and is about 1.1MB in size.
Itunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/the-weekly-thought-podcast/id1076270494
RSS Feed Link: http://www.rawlabradio.com/?feed=rss2&cat=8
Image Link: http://www.rawlabradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/THEWEEK.jpg
Validated link1: http://castfeedvalidator.com/?url=http://www.rawlabradio.com/?feed=rss2&cat=8
Validated link2: http://podba.se/validate/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rawlabradio.com%2F%3Ffeed%3Drss2% 26cat%3D8
This issue is effecting all 3 podcasts hosted so I suspect it could be the same cause. Could it be the file size? should it be under 300KB? or am I missing something? Problem with the feed ect???
Thanks in advance for any help!

Although Apple's help pages on podcasting don't bother to specify this, images larger than 500kB are likely to be rejected; as the dimensions are OK this is the most likely explanation. You should be able to increase the compression without affecting the quality too seriously; when you do this I should give the image a different filename and amend the feed accordingly.
