I am trying to get the audio to play through an rss feed through feedburner. What am I doing wrong? Do you need to have an rss feed and a podcast also, using the podcast to pla audio?

podcasts are a special type of feed.
Specifically the mp3 attachment file has to be included in the feed as a 'media' attachment, not just a displayed 'file upload', which is the normal default.
If you try a podcast module if should help with that.
I turned on filefield podcast for a friend yesterday, and by following the instructions and the video, it was all working exactly as expected within 20 minutes.

I followed all of the directions on how to set the view up but when I view the feed all I get is the title. Have a clue about this?

I added the node-podcast_feed.tpl.php to my theme, added contemplate to my content to display the other information in the podcast feed and those two things connect, but can't get the view to pick up any of the content info when it displays. what am I missing here?

I can't tell what you are missing.
Like I say, I'd never tried it before but I followed the video tute and it happened.
Although the video skipped over the first steps of adding a file upload field to your content type IIRC, all the bits about creating the view were neccessary steps. I didn't need to modify any templates or use contemplate when we just used the right view type from filefield_podcast.module.

I understand the template method would also work, I'm just saying the module instructions worked for me, beware of mixing and matching different tutorials.
