No. Not being snippy, just being factual.
Let's just drop it. I said how I felt, if you don't agree with it, that's
fine. As I said, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just because
mine's different doesn't mean I'm trying to be rude etc, nor shove my
thoughts down anyone's throat. If you don't wish to take my help nor
advice, then don't. Plain and simple. No one is forcing you to do so. I
do however feel that this topic is becoming heated. I therefore kindly ask
going forward if you want to say anything to me about this, please do so off
list privately, as the list doesn't need to be cluttered with opinion based
personal matters.

Thanks.

OK, sorry then for offerring my advice. Yes I do still think the
stratigy would work, but you're entitled to your opinion, and with that
said, it's all I'm gonna say any further on this topic. I offered my
help. It doesn't mean you have to take it. Smile.

Hi Chris,
Since the Vi market is less then 5% of apple's total market. do you
really think your stragity will really work? Sorry, you are not a big
enough fish. for Apple to truly care or even bow down to the pressures.
They will just turn around and say it is your business therefore you
occur the cost. We are just providing the platform.
As long as the pod is accessible to play, then there is no issues from
the average user. So the people that this effects is podcasters which is
even a smaller group then the whole VI group.

Hello everybody
We just got this from iTunes. I think it's going to kill a lot of
visually impaired people's podcasts.
<SNIP>
New Cover Art Requirement
iTunes has been completely redesigned and there are new requirements
for podcast cover art. To be eligible for featuring on iTunes Store, a
podcast must have 1400 x 1400 pixel cover art in JPG or PNG format
using RGB color space. The image URL must end in ".jpg", ".jpeg" or
".png" and the server hosting the image must allow HTTP HEAD requests.
See our technical spec below for details.
Technical Spec: http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
Server Configuration Requirement
Podcast streaming playback on iTunes requires all hosting servers to
enable Byte Range Requests. Please confirm your hosting servers have
this functionality enabled. If you work with a third-party hosting
service, please contact them to confirm this functionality is enabled
on their servers.
155 Countries & More Than 100 Languages
iTunes Podcasts has launched in additional countries around the world.
Note that reviews and ratings are unique to each country. Podcasts are
published in more than 100 languages.
</SNIP>
Now, correct me if I am wrong. But it's my understanding that blind
people have no use for these images. Who, I wonder, came up with this
crazy mandate?
