Podcast Listing issues in iTunes

I almost thinking that since the re director got removed, that it somehow pushed some information back to itunes, though that still puzzles me as my understanding is that it should have been permanent as once you told iTunes to look at the new location that would be the only place it gets it's information. So if it is possible to turn off Podbean updating iTunes hopefully it will sort itself out. Having two entries in iTunes might be causing issues as well, I suspect most likely the older one was linked to podbean. Going forward, you might need to remove one, but then comes the issue of losing those comments and potentially the listeners who subscribed through the entry.

Rico is right about redirects. I wish I had when I set up mine, to use something like Feedburner, and then that way you can move the podcast around to different hosts, but the information registered with iTunes never changes. It would be real nice if iTunes would let a person go in and make some changes to their entry, but they want everything to come through the xml file, so makes it hard when situations like this come up.

I agree with you both. In retrospect, I shouldn't have gone the routes I did (creating the site/feed in iWeb, then going to podbean and adding it there..mess). I still have the iWeb site, but now host through DreamHost. I eventually want to ditch iWeb, but will need to figure out how to create a site that's dynamic like I have now. I also can't believe that Apple/iTunes has NO way of merging two listings! Hmph.
