 * I am trying to validate the path of an audio file I want to publish to a post
   I get this error:
 * “Media URL contains characters that may cause problems for some clients. For 
   maximum compatibility, only use letters, numbers, dash – and underscore _ characters
   only.”
 * There are no characters that would conflict.
    Here is the file path: [http://flabmag.com/podcasts/Dave](http://flabmag.com/podcasts/Dave)
   Clifford.mp3
 * I’m not sure why this is happening…I need to start publishing tonight and I wanted
   to get my feed set up in iTunes so people can start to subscribe but iTunes is
   telling me that it can’t find any published podcasts.
 * I’m very confused any help is greatly appreciated!

 * I see a space in the URL between the word “Dave” and “Clifford”. Do as the warning
   instructed replace the space in the file name with a – or _ character and you’ll
   be all set.
