feck me it works!!!... I gotta update the Podcast create code on 7161 cos there's extra feilds like image, it can take your user image on 7161, also 'release dates' is missing is is description and track-time, and one of the header-areas feilds, but in essense, it's there!

one link which you can put on your pages/emails or reference to customers. To add to itunes shop, you simply register - you have to give credit card details when you do, cos of course they deduct when you buy, but for adding podcasts, it's free and the card isnt used.

Itunes customers can add reviews also. Currently, globaly for iTunes there is only about 20,000 podcasts on itunes. They go thru an approval period of a few days for copyright checking. Then you et an 'all clear' email & your iTunes shop URL which opens/loads the iTunes software

Ahhh... guess what, you can't register on I-Tunes if you live in eastern europe. The local rep said the HQ is considering Hungary, but there is no exact date. Ahha. The usual bullshit.

They analyse the IP, get the country (that would be no problem, our proxy is in Sweden) but then they ask for a credit card that is registered in that country (there is a check on that) and also the billing address of the card must be in that country.

Well, that would be certainly great but... I don't know how can you do that without entering a valid creditcard number. I own a fucking AMEX, but the billing address is in Hungary and the bastards somehow figure it out from the number that it is not a Swedish card (company PC is connected to the net via a proxy in Sweden).

well i dunno the rules but mebbe i could submit it?

i gotta look into all this further. Spent a bit of time today working on the new iTunes compatible podcast with the extra 'special' feilds... gotta test that fully then we can release it. However, it will mean people will have to be careful with their Artist & track descriptions text cos iTunes is very fussy about rogue text characters... unless we made a whole new form specialy for iTunes podcast with new fields... not sure what's the best yet; I'm inclined to not make people fill more stuff in

one thing for example is image size, apparently iTunes is fussy about that as well.

anyways, i'll tweak it, update and see what iTunes makes of it all, and get back to you about the other stuff (submission... hopefully it's not 'one podcast per user')

i've changed some of the fields, but we're gonna have to add special instructions in the TRACK-EDIT section regarding Podcast compatible Track description & in the MY DETAILS EDIT section for user-description.... and for the user-image cos iTunes doesnt like big pictures and they need to be .jpg

also we'll have to add in an extra form slot section for defining your podcast title if submitting to the iTunes store cos adding things like double hyphens to the title start puts your podcast up at the top of the listings when people browse.

things that'll cause the podcast to fail for iTunes submission/loading will be non decimal track-time additions in the 7161 admin, and dodgy characters in track/user descriptions or artist/band name

check your 7161 admin for the new Podcasting stuff and create your iTunes-Store compatible Podcast - check it works in the iTunes s/w, then mail me the Podcast url link and I'll submit it for you
