Hey guys, Thought I'd chime in here. A couple things:
* You're going to have the best experience using blip to get to iTunes if you use your blip iTunes feed to do it. Your blip iTunes feed is http://yourname.blip.tv/rss/itunes/ * If you use FeedBurner in this fashion it'll still work, but you may run into problems like these. * We're about to refactor our cross-posting system in an upcoming release (probably maybe a month off) and we're going to address this problem in that refactoring. The entire cross-posting workflow and templating system will change... and those changes, in addition to making everything more elegant and more efficient, will almost definitely solve this problem.
