O... K... Sarah, but what if they put something in place where they dont'
have! to check it? It does so automatically.
I'd at least! hope that the podcasts which already are approved will be
grandfathered in with no artwork requirements. Otherwise, I'm gonna be a
growling rinoscerous!

Yeah I knew about this months in advance and mine is already done. Not too
worried here but you are right. At the same them with the thousands
perhaps hundred of thousands of podcasts out there in iTunes land I don't
think apple will check each one
Take care.

Hello everybody
We just got this from iTunes. I think it's going to kill a lot of
visually impaired people's podcasts.

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.

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?
