TLS on iTunes

Would anyone be interested in helping me set up a TLS account on iTunes so we can have our audio projects like audiobooks and commentaries listed as podcasts?

Im not very good at technical stuff. We need to create a file for the rss feed, lol i havent got a clue

Hm. The byte-range support thing they talk about should be good to go, seeing that we host the files statically (i.e. not via some script) and Apache (our webserver) supports streaming the kind of files.

For the RSS feed, we should be able to install a plugin like this that creates 'podcast' posts, with a music/video player embedded; it will also generate the required RSS feed and such. Is there an episode somewhere on TLS, and could you link me to it? That way I can fuck around with it some.

I think if we release the ACC commentary as the first "podcast", it would pass their review process for podcasts

I figured now that we have a podcast id bump this topic.

Anyone with experience of itunes?

Speaking of iTunes, I wish they'd put the ff osts and mother 3i back up on itunes.
But yeah, I think putting the podcast up on iTunes could ve a pretty cool idea.

Actually the majority of the FF soundtracks are back up now on iTunes

Remind me again this weekend, I should unlazy and get this shit done,

Do not worry tentacle I'll remind you every 10 minutes starting tomorrow.

I've just remembered, there's a PodPress plugin for wordpress that we can use to feature the Podcasts in TLS articles.

You're right Sprites. The only one I can't seem to find is XI's. Also, why does the VIII soundtrack lack Eyes on Me? That's like, one of the most important songs in the game, and according to Nobuo Uematsu, is one of 2(the other being Liberi Fatali) main themes of FFVIII, and yet it's not on the tracklist. Wtf?

Mother 3i isn't back up on iTunes though, unfortunately.

Not sure what size the picture on itunes needs to be, or dimensions, but resize this to whatever you need

The materia ball was awesome, why did you get rid of it?

I just put that in for the 2:1 version. If i put it into the square one, id have to reduce the logo size, so it might be too small to make out on itunes

mkay, I set up the TLS podcast RSS feed for submission to Apple. I'm gonna need a few moar things:

* The cover image should be 1400x1400, PNG or JPG. I could upscale the one given.
* We'll need keywords / a description for the feed
* Location / Frequency (optional; I don't think location matters, and frequency is unstable atm - but it's a freeform field, so we can enter whatever)
* Talent name (post author will be used by default)
* iTunes email - I'll just use my own for this for now, let me know if you want to be the one that gets notified when Apple accepts a podcast.

Here's the feed link to the podcasts: http://thelifestream.net/category/lifestream-projects/podcasts/feed/

And here's another auto-generated feed for all posts with MP3's attached to it: http://thelifestream.net/feed/podcast/

I'll goan try to submit it to apple now. You can already add it to iTunes by going File -> Subscribe to Podcasts and copy-pastaing the link. Works like a charm on my machine,

Edit: Submitted to Apple, I should get an email once it's accepted in the listing. Let me know about keywords and descriptions and shit.
