Wondering how to specify which type of podcast I have.
I found the following options:
1- Explicit ( Understand this one )
2- Block ( Not sure what this does, explanation please )

One would naturally assume that if you don't check anything, that the feed would not get any tag at all. Where do you specify this is a "clean" feed with in FFA Beta?

Gazelle, <'/))))><

The windows beta was release before the update spec that included "Clean". And clean tag is only normally used in conjunction with a matching one that is marked "Explicit". The normal is nothing, not all "Clean".

I can't describe any better then in Apple's iTunes spec, http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html#_Toc526931681 .

I am having trouble also with the explicit tag. I have the button checked in the feeds/extension/itunes section where it says Explicit but it doesn't register on itunes. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Beta version 2.0.0.3 beta1. I could use some help.

After changing you have to upload the modified version your web host. Then wait the 24 hours for ITMS to read your feed to see if anything has changed, or force ITMS to update you feed following the directions in the specification http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html#_Toc526931667 .

I'm still having trouble, i pinged itunes and still no explicit tag next to the items. Although, when you subsribe there shows an explicit tag. I checked the xml code and it says "explicit yes". What am i doing wrong?

By the way, like i said, it shows explicit when you are on the subscribe page or when you search for it but as soon as it's downloaded to itunes there is none.

I see several problems with the feed. The first is the DTD URL is the old one, this should not be causing any problems. However, both the iTunes subtitle" and "summary" are blank and they are required to be filled in. It is likely that since they are blank, that the other iTunes fields are being ignored by the iTunes software, but not ITMS. Try filling in those fields and see if it is any better.
