Feedburner RSS not accepted "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed"

Hello all,

I have noticed other having smilar issues but couldn't work out what the solution was from what I read.

I tried to submit the following feed to Itunes:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheRolistesPodcast

but with the result of receiving the following infamous message "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed".

From what I read Ithought feedburner should have made my feed Itunes worthy 😟

Thanks in advance for your help.

This isn't a podcast feed. You have no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your playable media files. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress, and I can't advise on that; but for a start make sure that you are using an acceptable format - mp3, m4a, m4v, .mov or .mp4 - not Realmedia, .wmv or Flash. These are not accepted in iTunes and possibly Wordpress will ignore them.

Beyond that, this instructional page from Wordpress may help:
