i think it might have been a description encoding problem. i had estonain in it which made some characters to be full of signs.

i've changed everything to english now.

maybe someone can try to resubmit it:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/meetthemixer

i've tested it with iTunes and it works...

[ElNacho]

ill try again when i get home. if it says it's already in the store, you're going to have to change it to meetthemixer2 or something, and maybe change all the GUIDs, but not now. ill try first.

[ElNacho]

yeah, it says it's already been submitted. you'll have to make a new feedburner feed (/meetthemixer2 or somethin)

[diggy]

hey! i changed it now!

can you please try to submit:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/mtm-podcast

thanks

[ElNacho]

nope, still thinks it's already been submitted. sorry. try changing all the GUIDs, and filenames

[diggy]

i'm sorry not too familiar with the tech side. whats a GUID and where can i change that?

[ElNacho]

hm...what do u use to make yer feed? do u have a blog or somethin?

[diggy]

i'm running Joomla CMS and a podcast plugin which creates the podcast compatible file out of entries with enclosures...

[ElNacho]

if its not too much of a bother, try changing all the episode file names. if it is too much of a bother, see what te itunes faq has to say about getting listed after u were rejected, if it says anything at all

[diggy]

OK the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/meetthemixer and the file names have been changed...

[ElNacho]

that's the original feed url. u have to change that too.

[diggy]

ok can you try now:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/mtm-podcast

thanx

[ElNacho]

sorry. still can't.

[diggy]

i think the problem is in the XML file somewhere... i have to look into that

thanx for tryin!

[ElNacho]

no, the problem is that ive already submitted the feed, and itunes recognizes that. i dunt know how to get you in now, sorry
