Tips
Apple's iTunes U is quite picky about these things and so I wanted to bring to your attention some of the rules to make sure they don't break.
- Absolutely no spaces allowed in file names
- Use hyphens if you need to.
- Keep the file names short.
- You must put time duration. One way that you can find length of time is by previewing the article and playing the podcast in the player on the bottom of the preview page. Be careful when typing. I saw one podcast that used a ; instead of : which broke the feed.
