I hope this changes sooner rather than later Yes, as far as I know Apple just randomly selected my vlog for the "video podcasts" slider thinger. I didn't do anything to my feed, heck I've never even _seen_ my feed. It is generated by blogger, and tweaked by feedburner (smartcast) -- it's all magic pickles as far as I can tell. I don't recall if Andrew said he had done anything special with his feed. I kind of doubt it. I submitted my feed in August and was listed in a day like Taylor. To tell you the truth I forgot about it until last week because most all of my subscriptions were from ANT. I've been starting to mess with my feed slightly since Wednesday, just to see how long it takes the iTunes Music STore to reflect the changes. For example, I'll change how many past videos are available for download or change the description (this is all done through blogger, then passed to feedburner, and then waits to be noticed by iTunesMusicStore. In general it takes a few hours to a day for the changes to be reflected in iTunes. This is probably because iTunes-central-command isn't in a constant state of checking the feed for updates. i remember when podcasts were first being listed it was a similar delay between updating the feed and reflecting those updates in iTunesMS. I think what we've all learned since this summer is that any attempt to comprehend what the heck is going on inside iTunes increases cranial pain and decreases understanding, proportionally.
