After my Linux Suckage posting this can be dealt with relatively easily; so I will include analysis below to make up the shortfall in effort. I have two non-Mac x86 machines at home – a AMD x64 server running OpenSolaris, and a old Thinkpad. The AMD is a file server and one does not like

reading http://bit.ly/8PA9sq about getting iTunes to accept ATOM feeds # @futureidentity why? in reply to futureidentity # Horrified to find iTunes ATOM enclosures REQUIRE URLs with an (eg:) "filename.mp3" file extension/suffix, and FORBID "?foo=bar" queries # @futureidentity actually, no, not just "why" but "what do you see as the difference" ? in reply to futureidentity
