Just as a note, the FireAnt directory prefers iTunes images because of the size limitations of standard RSS images. We need larger images, and whether you like the iTunes spec or not, it's the only thing that provides large images that can be scaled down instead of being scaled up. ClintOn

Changes in the FireAnt directory may not take effect immediately... it will take effect the next time our server grabs your RSS feed, which is roughly once an hour. We are working on implementing a Ping mechanism so you can notify our server when you make a change to your RSS feed. -Josh
