Hello,
I see that each category can have it's own RSS feed. I made a FILE field called Audio File (It let's me upload an mp3 audio file to an item in this category). However, when I try to give this RSS feed to ITUNES, Itunes doesn't load anything. How can I make the feed ITUNES compatible and show the mp3 file?

mychurchwebsitedemo.com/joom/sermons is the place with the feed is.. but the mp3 file doesn't show as a media type file, like they do on this podcast feed: www.joomstew.com/?feed=podcast&format=mp3

So how do I make that happen?

Hello

?feed=podcast&format=mp3

hhmm i don't know the details of this output, without taking time to study it,

currently we only have:
?format=feed&type=rss

It does not need to be that url. I just need to know how to get fields to be media items in an rss feed? You can see here is an other example of one where the audio file is enclosed in media tags so that it can be podcasted properly:

Hello

i see,

Joomla itself does not have a "Document Type" that is an "Feed for podcast"

it has:
-- Feed ATOM
-- Feed RSS

and we call the Joomla document renderer to add items to the list

i see that requirements for valid format are these:

Right, so how do I get a file field to have it's own enclosure tag in your rss feed? Something like

Code:

<enclosure url="http://test.com/churchwebsitec/Prayer_For_A_Friend.mp3" length="2756212" type="audio/mpeg" />

Hello

i see that Joomla has option for:

Code:

$item->enclosure

since, this code is present in Joomla "template" file
rss.php

Code:

if ($data->items[$i]->enclosure != null)
{
	$feed .= "			<enclosure url=\"";
	$feed .= $data->items[$i]->enclosure->url;
	$feed .= "\" length=\"";
	$feed .= $data->items[$i]->enclosure->length;
	$feed .= "\" type=\"";
	$feed .= $data->items[$i]->enclosure->type;
	$feed .= "\"/>\n";
}

are you using the file field for adding MP3 ?
