I have just installed a newsreader to my webpage to read off of the iTMS new releases RSS feed. www.nickroz.com - right sidebar.

I'm having a problem with the format they provide. I don't want to know about the release date, copyright, etc. I'd like to omit those if possible.

Here's the code that my newsreader extracts from the iTunes feed:
Code:
<p>{description}</p>
and that produces this:
Code:
<p>Diving - Single by 4 Strings<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH="100%"><TR><TD><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=166 VALIGN=TOP><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=27247661&originStoreFront=143441"><img border="0" src="http://a1.phobos.apple.com/Music/y2004/m10/d18/h17/s05.ipjphqzw.100x100-99.jpg"></a></td> <td width="10"><img alt="" width="10" height="1" src="/images/spacer.gif"></td> <td width="95%"><B><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=27247661&originStoreFront=143441">Diving - Single</a></B><br> <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?artistId=4875534">4 Strings</a><br><br> <font size="3" FACE="Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><B>Release Date:</B> November 02, 2004<br> </font><font size="3" FACE="Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><B>Total Songs:</B> 10</font><br> <font size="3" FACE="Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><B>Genre:</B> <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.app.store.DirectAction/viewGenre?id=17">Dance</a></font><br> <font size="3" FACE="Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><B>Price:</B> $9.90</font><br> <font size="3" FACE="Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><B>Copyright</B> 2004 Ultra Records</font></td> </tr> </table></TD></TR> </TABLE></p>
I think I'm screwed unless anybody knows how to hack the feed. I'm hoping that a tag like
Code:
{description -copyright}
or something like that would work.

Anyways, why the hell is Apple using tables? That's so y2k.
