I need help uploading my podcast to iTunes

Hello guys,

First of all, I not very tech savvy so please bare with me.

I've been trying to upload my podcast to iTunes but I get this error:

Podcast cover art must be at least 1400 X 1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.

My images are 1400 x 1400 in JPG, but still, I can't upload them.

My podcast feed URL is: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:23141041/sounds.rss

I'd appreciate any help I can get, since I have a deadline to upload it.

Thanks

The URL of your image is http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000124771729-9o34wo-original.png

This image is 256 x 256 px so obviously is not going to be accepted. If you are sure the image you have submitted to SoundCloud is the correct size then you will need to check whether SoundCloud is reducing it - though I have seen other programs 'helpfully' do this it's usually to 300 x 300 (which was the accepted size some years back) so I don't know why it would be reduced to 256 x 256.

Is there anyway other way I could upload it? Soundcloud reduces the size everytime. Im desperate.

I'm gonna lose my only sponsor if this isn't up by the weekend.

Go with a better podcast host. One that is 100% iTunes compliant like Libsyn.

Here is a tutorial about podcasting:

Chapter 7 goes over creating a libsyn account, setting up your RSS feed and uploading your first episode.
