iTunes Metadata Converter

About This Tool

The iTunes Metadata Converter is a focused tool that reads iTunes-specific podcast metadata and outputs a normalized data model suitable for validation, analytics, and cross-platform publishing. It accepts either an RSS feed snippet or raw tag-value pairs and produces a consistent JSON or CSV representation. The core value is reducing manual reformatting and ensuring compatibility with Apple Podcasts and third-party aggregators. It uses namespace-aware XML parsing, mapping iTunes fields such as itunes:duration, itunes:explicit, itunes:image, itunes:season, itunes:episode, itunes:author, and itunes:owner to a standard key set. Durations are normalized to HH:MM:SS and descriptions are sanitized to safe text lengths. The tool supports both single-fee and batch workflows, depending on input size. Beneficiaries include podcast producers, editors, and data teams who need consistent feeds for validation, analytics, and multi-platform publishing. Unique value lies in deterministic, auditable mappings with optional custom field mappings and robust error reporting. Core features include input parsing, tag mapping, duration normalization, and output formatting with validation. Use cases cover migration from legacy iTunes tags to modern feed structures, cross-platform republishing, and health checks for podcast metadata.
