If your podcast is not appearing - add your details here

My speculation about how the iTunes submission system was apparently correct (see my previous post). So I say to everyone...I am now in iTunes!

Who cares?! You should! Why?

In my previous post I detailed how I thought iTunes was recognizing podcast submissions. At that point in time (approximately two days ago) I had just resubmitted myself to iTunes and was waiting to see what happened. Well, look what happened! After two days I'm in...so my analysis of the iTunes submission process was correct. iTunes scans <itunes> tags, so if you're getting this message:

"It appears the feed has already been submitted"

Read my previous post.

Good luck!

Yep, my podcast is also stuck in limbo. I submitted it about a month ago and still nothing. Shame Apple doesn't ahve a better system with more toold for podcasters.

Anyway... the podcast is called 'Kaiku'
The feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/kaiku

I too submitted my podcast feed -

http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheCambridgeMusicPodcast

- the first day iTunes supported podcasts, and I've never heard anything - despite attempting to resubmit loads of times and try alternate feedburner feeds. I play only podsafe music, and cant see why i shouldnt be added. ive had loads of publicity, from the BBC, USA Today and Macworld, so why does Apple continue to ignore me...

Oh, woe.

yes, but how do I change these tags when I am using feedburner for my video podcast?

website: joshleo.com

My podcast appeared in the first itunes directory for about a week, then disappeared. I have tried changing it to a new XML name and revising the various itunes tags via feedburner's smartcast options. but no progress. it's a real shame.

podcast is:

feeds.feedburner.com/bikeshow

Jack

The Bike Show
Resonance 104.4 fm

Finally got my show (The Weekly Davespeak Podcast) listed on the iTunes Music Store It only took about 3 months The Weekly Davespeak podcast will cover updates from Dave Matthews Band's upcoming Winter Tour, official band news and rumors from the various fan-forums. The blog site it http://dmbpodcast.blogspot.com and the direct link to the iTMS is http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=77737756

I submitted about a month ago... it's really kinda upsetting. I was excited to do this, but without a way for people to see it... well it's just pointless

The Crankcast

Alex... how did you find out the direct link to your podcast. I've got mine up there, but I want to make it easier for people who visit my site to get to it.

Glenn:

Bring your podcast up in ITMS and then right click on the "album art"--the image you referenced in your xml feed file. It should then say something like "copy url". This wil give you the exact http: address to your podcasts in ITMS.

Having read all the posts here this seems the place to ask this question.
I downloaded my podcast to www.ourmedia.com. They placed a URL link and I copied this into the iTunes Podcast URL feed.

this is it. http://www.archive.org/download initial podcast_from_middlekingdom/pcast30oct05artofknives1.mp3

I received various error messages trying different combinations i.e. cannot include content, error 500, needs META tags < or /> and I'm having no luck with this, so, I decided to ask for help, advice and thanks in advance.

Let's keep this simple and uncomplicated, shall we?

ITunes requires an RSS feed with special itunes additions. You can't just place a file in as a podcast. You can manually copy the mp3 file to itunes and play it but then it's not a subscribable podcast.

You need to check ouf feedburner.com or other service/process of creating feeds. Other options are to download dircaster.php to your site and use it or to download one of the applications that generates rss files. Place this rss file on your site and use that file address as the input to iTunes podcast.

Basically what I did is get an account at Internet Archive, an account at Ourmedia, uploaded file to Ourmedia, set up a blogspot at Blogger, created a page with the link from my file stored at Ourmedia, entered my blogspot url at Feedburner and then entered the link from there, into iTunes. In a couple days my video podcast appeared in the list on iTunes as Russ Sargent's Video Podcast. The steps are detailed at freevlog website. Initially I had trouble uploding files on Ourmedia. It turned out my account at Internet Archives wasn't making the necessary folders. I deleted the account, recreated it, and now it works.

submitted.. had to take offline temporarily..
was told i need to re-submit.. tried to..
said it already was submitted..
got very frustrated!

Resubmitting - I don't think iTunes ever actually let's you resubmit your previous feed inspite of the email they send. It should bump the feed out of the queue as soon as it rejects it. I got tired of waiting after a week or so of resubmitting and just created another feed. Unfortunately this means iTunes has one feed and every other podcast directory has the other feed.

I'm based in the U.S.
My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/thenodcast
I submitted it before there was anything in it... Got an email saying:

Dear Podcast Creator,

This is to inform you that your podcast has been removed from the iTunes Music Store because of a technical problem with your feed.

If your problem can be resolved, you can fix it in your RSS feed, and then re-submit your podcast to the Music Store.

Sincerely,

The Music Store Team...

So I figured "oh, they just want something in the feed," so I put something in the feed, tried re-submitting it, and got the message "this feed has already been submitted" so I guess I just can't re-submit. I've tried making a new feed of my site, and it says "it appears the feed has already been submitted," I've called apple twice now, and e-mailed them like a million times, and I just get generic form letters. It's been 3 weeks now, and my show still hasn't shown up... arrgh!
