Hello everybody We just got this from iTunes. I think it's going to kill a lot of visually impaired people's podcasts.
<SNIP> New Cover Art Requirement iTunes has been completely redesigned and there are new requirements for podcast cover art. To be eligible for featuring on iTunes Store, a podcast must have 1400 x 1400 pixel cover art in JPG or PNG format using RGB color space. The image URL must end in ".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".png" and the server hosting the image must allow HTTP HEAD requests. See our technical spec below for details. Technical Spec: http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html Server Configuration Requirement Podcast streaming playback on iTunes requires all hosting servers to enable Byte Range Requests. Please confirm your hosting servers have this functionality enabled. If you work with a third-party hosting service, please contact them to confirm this functionality is enabled on their servers. 155 Countries & More Than 100 Languages iTunes Podcasts has launched in additional countries around the world. Note that reviews and ratings are unique to each country. Podcasts are published in more than 100 languages. </SNIP> Now, correct me if I am wrong. But it's my understanding that blind people have no use for these images. Who, I wonder, came up with this crazy mandate?
