A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I tried to submit my radio show podcast to the iTunes store directory and it was rejected. However, they don't explain why, other than to tell me to check their tech specs. I went through them carefully before creating my xml file, so I am at a loss as to what I may have done wrong. Would someone mind checking my file to see if I've made a boo-boo? It does work in iTunes if you "manually" subscribe it under the advanced tab option.

Here's the xml file: [link]

Here's Apple's spec: [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wierd question, but...

If I download a Mac OSX installer for something (say VLC) to a PC and burn it to a CD, can I then install it at home? I have dialup at home and am trying to avoid a long doanload time.

Sophia, I can't see why that wouldn't work... you would be out only a little time if it doesn't.

Thrive to spite them

I'm a little frustrated with my iTunes and my Nano right now.

I'm trying to update my songs, and I keep getting a message that there isn't enough room. I have the 2 Gig Nano.

My old selection had 255 songs, 17: 28:17 total time and 1.10 G used. What I want to update it to is 366 songs, 1:01:08:34 and 1.54 G used. Am I expecting too much out of the Nano?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Can you delete the old ones first?

I tried that. I tried something else (I forgot) and it only uploaded about 120 songs and the plug got pulled out and when I tried to upload again it would only go to those 120 songs with the same message about not having enough space.

Then I went to the iTunes website and took the advice for restoring. That was a few hours ago, my Nano is completely charged but it has do not disconnect. But I won't worry about that unless it's like that when I get back tonight (I'm leaving in a few minutes for a kayaking trip),

move out and draw fire

How do you delete songs or whatever off an iPod? I've only been able to delete podcasts and photos by synching them with empty files...no clue how to do it with songs.

Um, okay, actually before I got distracted by iPod questions, I came here to ask for web hosting recs. I've been using GoDaddy, but my account's about to expire and I'm wondering if there are better options. GoDaddy seems to have good up time, but I can never find anything I'm looking for on their site, and they offer a ton of extras I don't need. CheapAss WebHosting is basically what I'm looking for.

Raq -

do you sync? You can uncheck songs, etc. that you don't want on your ipod but these remain on your computer.

Raq, I've been using EHostPros for years with very few problems.
