Error message when trying to submit my podcast

Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me because I"m getting ready to pull my hair out...lol. I'm trying to submit my podcast and keep getting the same error message over and over again. I thought it was because my cover image size was to large, so I resized it but am having the same problem. My RSS link is showing active. Here is my RSS feed and the error message:

Hi Robert,


I'm having this problem, too. You helped me last time I submitted a podcast a couple of years ago, but I still seem unable to sort it out. My image size is about 1700 X 1700, it's under 500kb, so I think I'm OK on that.


Any help you can provide will be gratefully accepted.

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 works in the iTunes application, the Store can't play it within its own page.

You need to set each file not to download.

Additionally, a number of people have reported the same problem. It seems probable that there is an issue at the server which is preventing submissions from being accepted. I should leave it until after the weekend and see whether it clears itself up.

DanJensen23, your image is too small at 720x720. See attached image. To check your feed, view your feed url in Firefox or Chrome, and look for the <itunes:image> tag. View that file. Update your image and resubmit! Also, iTunes is now using black "Available on iTunes" badges, which you can get here: https://www.apple.com/itunes/marketing-on-itunes/identity-guidelines.html#itunes -badge


And this site helps you create great looking links: http://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/en-us/


Good luck!
