Hey guys,
After running the podcast on itunes from soundcloud rss for a long time, it suddenly stopped working.
I get this error: Error parsing feed: Invalid XML: Error on line 178: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.
This is the rss: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:36637708/sounds.rss
What can i do? :/
FeddValidator has now recovered from its attack of 'flu. It flags no serious errors, certainly nothing on line 178. The main one is an unsuitable character : please see the FeedValidator Report. In line 3043 you have
Eastern Renaissance - 42°19'53 N
which possibly you should correct; however iTunes doesn't read the description tag (which is where this is) and though some forbidden characters can wreck the feed this one evidently isn't.
Podcasts Connect is still complaining only about the image size, so other than that I don't think you have a problem.
Where did you see this error? I checked your feed in Podcasts Connect and didn't get this, though your image isn't acceptable.

Thie is 1000 x 1000 px - it must be at least 1400 x 1400 px.
I can't see a problem of the sort flagged in the error you saw, but Feedvalidator and associated validators aren't working currently so I can't do a detailed check. I'll try again later, but in the meantime you should correct the issue with the image and try again in Podcasts Connect.
In any case your podcast appears in the iTunes Store and is up to date, it's just that the Store is showing a different image. All you need to do is to correct the image and make sure it has a different filename from the original. Then it should update in a few days in the Store.
Report back if you still have problems - I don't see any evidence of 'Not working'.
