ID3 tags are used by media and mp3 players to display artist, track, album etc. The directories get the information that they display from your feed file. As for Podnova not returning my podcast when you search my name, this must be a shortcoming in their search algorithm because my name is included in the description for Podcasting Underground. My name appears even appears in the listing on their site. Maybe they only search the titles. Jason Ted,

For instance I know you identify yourself in your ID3 tags. However when I went to PodNova and searched for your name it didn't find it. However when I searched for Podcasting Underground it did find that. How can you make sure a pod directory has you listed in multiple searchable words so if users search for you by name, podcast title, even perhaps episode name? Thanks in advance for your help.
