I have a Soundcloud Rss feed but cant figure out how to change my podcast settings

Hello,

I am having some troubles changing my Itunes podcast settings, Clean to Explicit, Website information, Discritpion etc... I am sure there is an easy fix for this as I would like to prevent my podcast from being taken down due to misleading information. Especially when the podcast is marked as "Clean" when the content is geard for older ears... I have attached my Soundcloud RSS feed here. http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/6704716-the80sbabiespodcast/tracks

You would need to amend the 'itunes:explicit', 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags, but probably you need to do that within Soundcloud rather than editing the actual feed, and I can't advise on that: you will need to look in their Help pages or contact their Support.

Hello Roger and Thank you for helping me out with this.

So, I was able to contact soundcloud about changing the settings on my podcast and this is what they suggested

Try this:

1. Log into feedburner

2. Click the "Optimize" tab, then "SmartCast" (https://img.skitch.com/20120629-bhfxj5tu955qgcf2xx9w4uauhe.jpg)

3. Set the explicit setting to "Yes" (https://img.skitch.com/20120629-k69dqp3wxu35xyx4rkikt91fbp.jpg)

4. Hit save

That should update your feed for you, but it may take iTunes a few days to process the change. That said, if you don't see the correct label within a week, you may need to contact iTunes from there.

I completed the steps mentioned above and waited a few weeks, however, I am still not seeing the changes on itunes. When I tried to submit the rss feed to itunes again with the changes it tells me that the feed has already been submitted.

Really appreciated you helping me out with this.

Best,

Anthony.

iTunes is using the feed at

There is no 'itunes:explicit' tag in this feed. You may have a Feedburner feed but iTunes is not using that,

You can't resubmit a feed once a podcast has been accepted: you simply make the changes and re-upload it. You need to add the 'itunes:explicit' tag to this version of the feed. If you want to move the Store to using the Feedburner feed you need to add a special tag to this feed - the method is described here:
