Hi,
In iTunes, the "Released Date" column is using data from the "Authored on" node date. In this node, I have a seperate Podcast Date CCK field; I would like to use this date as the data to populate the "Released Date" column in iTunes. How can this be done?

Thanks

+1 for this feature. Would like to see an option on the itunes UI page to include a field to use for the release date to go along with the audio, author, and tags settings.

A hacky solution:
around line 150 of views_plugin_row_node_rss.inc in views/modules/node (Views3):
array('key' => 'pubDate', 'value' => gmdate('r', $node->created)),
...change "node->created" to something else.

In my case, podcast nodes ('Talks') are created weeks before mp3 files are actually uploaded to those nodes; so the 'Release Date' in iTunes was showing nodes' 'Date Created' which is meaningless. Changing "$node->created" to "$node->changed" means the 'Release Date' reflects the date the mp3 is uploaded. (Obviously, a node is 'changed' when something is uploaded and it is re-saved.)

Hope this helps.
