OK, well, for one thing, how does one configure sed picture to the correct
specifications? I know of no app on the mac that accessibly will do this.
Don't just say IPhoto. That's not what I'm asking exactly. That's kind of
a well yeah? Duh? But, I mean more specifically, how do you do it?
This isn't a challenge, and after re-reading this mail, I'll admit it sounds
like I'm daring you to show me in defense. That is not my intention. I'm
only asking as I am curious. I'm unaware of any easy way.
Chris.

Nothing crazy about this at all. We live in a sighted world, and I would
imagine it must be quite boring looking at an empty space where a cover
art picture should be.
It is a bit crazy for websites to include images or photos don't you
think? Of course not.
I am sure most blind people will either just resize an image of themselves
or their guide dog etc to insert into this space. Apple have not
specified that the image must contain a logo or the wording of the title
of the podcast etc.
I am sure blind podcasters want to appeal to non blind users too, and it
is no different to adding a picture to a book cover, album sleeve,
Facebook or twitter profile etc.

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.

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?
