Thanks Checker was written to help proof listeners check the files the are testing and is probably not the best thing for 1 minute tests. The Failed you are getting is for the file name for projects - and can be ignored as can the time. So at the moment your test file passes as a test file. You have...

Anyone using our files for any purpose takes the files with our mp3 tags - what they do with them then is up to them. I would also say that a very small % of our readers do read their names - but that may depend on what I listen to and what you listen to. I've no stats to prove either of our opinion...

I can't see any need and it would make changing names impossible- and it does happen. I can think of a number of cases where we have been asked to take things down and we have just changed the name.
Also what is in the tags goes out into all the world and can not be changed.

One will probably drop in now we are sorted out - but you can start recording without one - often posting some files encourages PLers to commit. And knowing you already have recorded a book will also help.
And I'll tidy up the thread now.

How about uploading your latest file and posting a link . Otherwise everyone is sort of guessing . It might help to say about your microphone and your software if you are not using Audacity - Checker does does its best to explain things but ears and eyes can help

Hope you are fully back soon Anne

OK , I'll set it up for you then. Back soon......
Well you have a MW but I can't give you access until your email is sorted out, but you could start recording if you wished.

It will be PL OK as the validator checks the bit rate

It's fine to aim for perfection although judging from the reviews I have come across there are many ideas about what is perfection in a recording - just as with singers and actors and news readers ...... etc. But I've heard stage actors say they always pick someone in the audience they are talking t...

good - if it's your first cover just check the first for image and size needs. Welcome to the covermakers club Anne

that's not the project number. To find that just hover over the BC link under the MW - it's 20408
