I needed this for the site I'm building, and it seemed like the easiest way to solve it was as a feature for itunes.module itself. ;)

Once you use itunes.module to get some nice feeds and submit those to the itunes store, you get a unique podcast ID that you can link to like so:

http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=378333126

That opens the thing inside iTunes automagically, etc. It's nice to display these URLs as feed icons whenever you have feed icons attached (e.g. in a block or page).

So, I added a setting to the style plugin for the "iTunes Store ID", and some logic to render a little iTunes icon with a link like the above if it's defined.

For now, I've just stolen an iTunes icon, so we should see about getting something freely available to use before we commit this. ;)

Are you interested in such a feature?

Technically this needs work, since we need a usable icon .png for this, but here's the rest of it...

After trying to actually style this, I realized I was screwed on page displays, since the RSS icon was being handled via drupal_add_feed() while the iTunes icon was via the view, so they were in radically different parts of the page markup. See the giant comment in itunes_plugin_style_rss::attach_to() in this patch. ;)
