You've managed to skewer yourself three ways.


1. The Store checks only the top episode when you submit a feed. Your top episode has no 'enclosure' tag.


2. The URL in the 'enclosure' tag for your middle episode is


http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/YouCantTakeTheMicFromMe/~5/PZ1vVzJwcuk/trouble-br ewin


The Store cannot recognize this as a media file because it has no extension (.mp3).


3. This URL redirects to


https://soundcloud.com/kevin-and-company/trouble-brewin


This isn't a media file but a web page with an embedded player, which won't work in iTunes.


You must provide a URL which has the extension, and the media file must be referenced directly; the test is when you enter the URL in a browser it plays directly in the browser, not within a page, and it shouldn't force a download as Soundcloud is liable to do.


I can't advise on how (or whether) you can get a direct link in Soundcloud - it's been done in the past, so presumably it's possible unless things have changed, but you will need to take this up with Soundcloud's Help.
