Using iTunes duration tag, episode length in iTMS, using feedburner

Hello, and thank you for reading this 🙂 I posted this question to the feedburner help page first, since its really a feedburner question I think, but no answers!

Id really like to add the iTunes duration tag, so that people can see how long each of my podcast episodes are before they download, some are almost two hours long, some are 20 minutes long. I use Feed Burner, so thats where I would edit the XML etc right? I know iTunes has a duration tag, but Im not sure how to put it in, how to edit a Feed Burner RSS feed.

Id ideally like it if I only had to click something in Feed Burner, and it would "display episode lengths before download on iTMS", but perhaps thats not possible, if the audio file is not checked for its length before its displayed. So I have to manually add a duration tag when I upload each episode?

How would I do this?

this is my feedburner RSS feed,

this is the podcast on iTunes, this will take you to it on iTunes,

Thank you all once again for your time, especially Roger Wilmut1 who has helped me before 🙂 You are all amazing, thank you all for volunteering your time to help other people have a voice online 🙂

The 'length' attribute within the 'enclosure' tag for your top episode reads '0' - it should read the duration in seconds: but if you created your podcast entirely within Feedburner (as opposed to submitting a feed file to it) you would have to set that within Feedburner, and I'm afraid I don't know how you would do that. I can only suggest a close look at their Help pages.
