Please set the content-type header to either text/xml or application/xml instead of text/html, as many podcast apps will only take valid xml files.

An example snippet on how to do it:

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.setHeader("content-type", "text/xml");
}).listen(80);

What I really want is to have my podcast fetcher pull down mixcloud mixes to my phone for me to listen to offline. So, for bonus points, this app (in a perfect world) would:

• scan the description/info content of a mixcloud entry
• look for any external hyperlinks that seem to point to mp3 files (maybe just look at file extension)
• include links to those in the "audio enclosures" part of the rss xml.

magic! i don't know node or i'd have a crack myself.

Using mixcloud-rss on my profile and trying to submit it to iTunes results in these errors upon validation:

• Can’t download episodes from your feed.
• Podcast artwork must be between 1400 x 1400 and 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.
• Can’t submit your feed. There is no category tag in your feed, or the category tag is empty.
• Can’t submit your feed. There is no explicit tag in your feed, or the explicit tag is empty.
• Can’t submit your feed. There is no language tag in your feed, or the language tag is empty.

Please offer also choice in number of items, see also http://mixcloud-rss.georgipavlov.com/

Please offer also MP3, see also http://mixcloud-rss.georgipavlov.com/

Please, add artwork to the items in the RSS feed. And if possible, also to the channel.

Is it possible to get access to an enclosure via the Mixcloud API to download a source MP3 file?

If you sync podcasts to a device using this, the oembed version isn't enough

Could you add audio files to the RSS feed to allow podcasts downloaders (like iTunes, iCatcher, ...) to download recordings?
