Hello Josh,
Do you know if iTunes will use the RSS <image> if the <itunes:image>
is left out?
According to this...
http://www.reallysimplesyndication.com/2005/06/28#a682
iTunes will use things like the RSS <category> if you don't use
<itunes:category>.
(And yeah, I agree, iTunes RSS is one of the worst RSS extension I
have ever seen.)
See ya
