RSS iTunes Redirection
If you want to change the url of an already submitted podcast (feed) in iTunes, this plugin will help you out.
If you are a podcaster and you already submitted a podcast to iTunes you will notice that Apple does not provide a form where you can change your feed- or podcast url. Instead you have to use a special tag in your feed to change the url.
The RSS iTunes Redirection Plugin will add the necessary namespace (if needed) and the special redirect-tag to your RSS 2.0 feed on Wordpress.
The namespace is: xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd The redirect-tag is: [your new feed url]
Please read the FAQ for more information.

My feed will not be redirected, what should I do?
It may take a while till iTunes picks up your new feed and changes the url to the new one.
I'm getting an error on my feed or Feedburner says that there is an error
Please check your feed with the W3C Feed Validator (http://validator.w3.org/feed/). If there is an error, you maybe activate or deactivate the namespace.
If you activate the namespace please make sure that it's not already added to the feed from another podcast plugin. Double-Adding the namespace will cause the error.
The error will also appear when you're using the redirection plugin without a namespace. In this case check your feed with the W3C Feed Validator mentioned above and test what works for you.
