See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.intertwingly.net\/blog\/2005\/07\/18\/Podcasting-Specifications-Update\">this post<\/a> for a few interesting things of note about that spec by Sam Ruby and Mark Pilgrim.<\/p>\n<p>An important point is that thanks to omissions in the new spec, you need to have the old spec if you want to have all the information and it&#8217;s no longer available on Apple&#8217;s site. For example, it doesn&#8217;t have the list of categories and subcategories, or mention the <itunes :image> tag in the summary table at the top. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the comments there, it&#8217;s struck me that the description of the <\/itunes><itunes :image> tag itself implies that it should only be applied at the channel level and not to individual items. This would make sense since iTunes doesn&#8217;t do anything with an image specific to a particular show\/item, only the podcast\/channel as a whole, but do we know for sure? Er, no.<\/p>\n<p>This new revision is much better, but that wouldn&#8217;t be difficult, and yet it seems that where the first version did well this one has let itself down and vice versa. It remains a moving target for anyone trying to make sense of it all.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/itunes\" rel=\"tag\">iTunes<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/podcasting\" rel=\"tag\">Podcasting<\/a><\/itunes><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It now seems that FeedValidator has been updated for the latest iTunes spec&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-itunes","category-podcasting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
