i'm not sure how you're handling playing audio/video or if distinguishing file type is automatic, but i solved the problem by using a select/switch statement, where the default case was .mp3 since the offenders were some of the earlier episodes, and i think some of the backstage shows.

in the same vain there's a pdf in the rss feed which needs to be dealt with.. so error handling, or opening in safari.. not sure how pdf gets handled on the iphone.
Ya, it's pretty easy to do a switch case or simple if else if, I'm tinkering with what I want to do.

I might make a dynamic feed that gives however many shows the phone asks for. Then have the last cell be LOAD MORE SHOWS.
