I'm guessing the reason it doesn't work properly in IE8 because it still has a few errors (but fewer than before!). The results from the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/feed) explain how to remedy the errors. I suggest you run it through the validator and fix each of the errors reported there. Then it'll be RSS compliant and should work in any browser/feed aggregator (well, that's the theory anyway!).
Hope you don't read my comments as criticism - I'm just trying you to get it working properly on all platforms.
I've just this minute checked out the latest episode - I think it's a brilliant idea and well-suited to LPFM. Good stuff!
Cheers,
Edwin

Hi Edwin,
Have updated it, it seems I didn't upload the latest version of the RSS file. Tidied a couple of things up.
It works for myself in both Firefox & Safari, not sure if Internet Explorer on PC will work also assuming it will? What browser are you using?
Regards, Ethan

Ethan,
Looks like you have the wrong MIME type. I just see your XML code in the browser, which means it's not subscribable unless I paste the URL into iTunes manually. You need to make sure your Web server is issuing the correct mime type of application/xml.
In any event, none of your content loads. Probably because you haven't properly escaped your URLs. As you may know you can't have a space in a URL - but you can represent the space with its hexadecimal notation %20.
Also, it looks like you're missing the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag at the very beginning (i.e. before the <rss> tag).
And your "length" attribute of the <enclosure> tag shows zero - which is obviously incorrect.
You might want to fix those errors and get us to try again. By the way, you might find this page useful: http://validator.w3.org/feed/
Having said all that, the concept of your podcast sounds good - which is why I'm keen to try again once your bugs have been fixed!

Hi Fellow LPFM'ers.
I have brought back a feature to my LPFM station calledThe NZ Music Beatand I have put it on the internet as a podcast. Its a feature which is updated regularly with the latest in NZ Music. The music comes from NZ On Air's Kiwi Hit Disc.
I would like to offer this free of charge, to all you other LPFM stations to broadcast if you wish. Or just broadcast the ones which would be of interest to you.
PLEASE NOTE: Our studios will be closed from July 20th - August 30th, we will be unavailable for production services throughout this period. We apologize for the inconvenience in advance.
