Hey
I have a problem creating a podcast
i followed the tutorial on http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode19 however still i cannot get podcasting to work
the problem is that the podcast links to a file download. The file is an unknown file type and sometimes (during some of my attepts at creating a podcast) it will not even download
i would really like to get this podcast up and running
please help

Do you mean that the browser complains that the mp3 file is an unknown type when you view the feed and try to click on the attached file?
If so, this may be a web server configuration issue and not related to the feed.
If you're on an apache web server, try adding this line to your site's .htaccess file:
AddType audio/mpeg .mp3This will tell the server what MIME type to associate with the file. Your browser should then be happier.
If I've misunderstood the issue, please clarify.

this happens to me with PDFs that i have simply attached to a node.
this isnt specific to audio files, but to downloads in general.

@servantofthebones this module and this issue is against the filefield podcast module which deals with podcasting media files. PDF files shouldn't be used with this module.
@gdkyeh do you have any responses to Micahs questions? If not I'm going to close this request. Hope it's working smoothly.
