Episodes Apparently Not MP3s in RSS Feed

    My podcast (pastorsmiddlekid.wordpress.com) is being sent through Feedburner (feeds.feedburner.com/PastorsMiddleKid), but only a few of my episodes are being recognised on Feedburner as having an MP3 attached. I have embedded all the episodes in blog posts from my Archive.org site, categorised as “Podcasts”, and all of the embedded players work on WordPress. However, when Feedburner tries to pick them up, less than half of my episodes apparently have an MP3 attached.
    I have undergone the whole process exactly the same way for each episode, yet most of them are not working.

    What on earth am I supposed to do?

    This hasn’t helped, since that thread only has to do with submitting a podcast to iTunes in the first place. My podcast is already on iTunes, but only a few of the episodes are apparently “MP3s”, despite me going through the same process for every one of them.
    My question is about having embedded MP3s detected by Feedburner, and consequently iTunes. This issue is not addressed anywhere, as it seems no one else has ever had this issue.
    Thank you for trying to help.
    Please tag the staff.

    Hi pastorsmiddlekid,

    The episodes that aren’t working correctly all follow a pattern. Those that do not display an mp3 use this URL format:

    http://ia801505.us.archive.org/

    And those that do display an mp3 use this URL format:

    https://archive.org/download/

    Can you try updating the audio URL for #60 – Papua New Guinea Outreach Stories (with Jake Blankers), to the following:

    https://archive.org/download/Episode60PapuaNewGuineaOutreachStorieswithJakeBlankers_201703/Episode 60 - Papua New Guinea Outreach Stories (with Jake Blankers).mp3

    When you do that, does the mp3 show up in the feed? The feed could be cached for a little while, so the change may not be immediate.

    Let me know how you get on.
