My podcast wont play in iTunes after adding feedburner

Hello.


My podcasts used to play with no problems, but now they wont play in iTunes when I try to.
I've recently hooked my soundcloud account up with feedburner, so I can follow the activity on iTunes.


My feed:

http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:136773127/sounds.rss


I'm very new to this, so any input is welcome.


Thank you.

Your iTunes Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/universitetsradioen/id966113015?mt=2 and is using the feed at the URL you give.


The URL for the top episode's media file is


http://feeds.feedburner.com/Universitetsradioen/http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stre am/190737542-uniradioen-festfronten-scoreteknikker-pa-mef.mp3


Trying to access this produces an error. If you take the front section off:


http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/190737542-uniradioen-festfronten-scoreteknikk er-pa-mef.mp3


it works, except that when you enter the URL of your media file in a browser it downloads instead of playing within the browser as it should. This means that although it would work in the iTunes application, the Store can't play it within its own page.

You need to correct the URLs and to set each file not to download.
eiznem has posted the process for the latter:

The URL for your top episode is


http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/190737542-un iradioen-festfronten-scoreteknikker-pa-mef.mp3


This works, but the file is still downloading. This means it will play for subscribers but not in the iTunes Store.


It can take the Store a couple of days or so so update to changes, though they appear for subscribers immediately.
