iTunes and Pwop Shows

We've been getting a flood of email that says our RSS feeds don't work with iTunes. iTunes does not support BitTorrent. Nor does it kick off your BT application if it receives a .torrent file as an enclosure. This is a problem for iTunes.

Meanwhile, we are kicking around ideas at Pwop Productions on how to fix this problem on our end. We will most likely create an RSS feed with enclosures pointing to the .m4b files, but we haven't decided yet.

Looking forward to .NET Rocks and Mondays support for iTunes.
Currently I can get all my other podcast feeds on iTunes. .NETRocks and Mondays are the only exceptions.

It appears (at least on my 4G HP iPod) that if you install the new iPod updater then MP3s support the resume feature in iTunes and on the iPod as well.

Guys, iTunes has a really easy-to-use library with which you probably could write some kind .NET app that kicks off a BitTorrent client when a .torrent file gets downloaded. Guess I will have to upgrade my iTunes to find out.
