Podcast submission Question

My podcast submission keeps getting rejected with this message: An error was encountered while trying to add your feed, {http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:232315260/sounds.rss ]. I have searched the forums but have not found an answer to this question. Is there something wrong with my RSS feed?

Thanks

The feed seems to be OK except that the 'length' attribute inside the 'enclosure' tag is '0' and it should be the file size in bytes.


The episode plays OK in iTunes when you subscribe to the feed. However if you enter the feed URL in a browser there is a double redirect to a ludicrously long URL which does not have an extension (.mp3). This plays in the browser, but when tested in Terminal I got some very odd results (see the bottom of this post, though I doubt it will help much). This suggests that something odd is going on at the server and the Store isn't coping with it. I would advise hosting your files on a basic webspace server, and providing a direct URL to the file without redirects. Soundcloud can work, though it often causes trouble, but I've never seen it produce this result. The URL has 'stream' in it - if you are trying to stream the audio this isn't going to work.


This is the Terminal result:
