MeFi Music RSS feed no longer working in iTunes

March 29, 2011 5:54 PM

Anyone else found that subscribing to the Mefi Music RSS feed as an iTunes podcast stopped working a few days ago?

I just tried removing and rejoining, and it again lists the last few days worth of music, but fails on downloading anything after "Solomon Silkwood."

Oh snap, we moved our music files to a new server, and I don't think we updated the RSS feeds.

(powers up the pb signal)

I've been around long enough I remember the Migs Signal. What does the pb signal look like?

I like seeing broken things get found and fixed... but it to change the subject slightly really freaks me out that the img tag worked as recently as 2005, since that's not really all that recent now. And then I go look at the mefi wiki timeline and find that the img tag wasn't disabled until October 26, 2006, by or before 12:32PM... and yet that seems like forever ago now.

The file locations needed to be updated and there was an em dash in a song title that wasn't being escaped properly. I went over the music feeds and they should all be set now.
