LibriVox Forum

I also wanted to let you both know that I am going to take some time off Librivox until the end of August or thereabouts. I don't have anything on the go at the moment and I also have an academic book that I need to finish writing by the end of the month. Plenty of time at home but I need to avoid g...

Hi Anne, Sorry, but you got to this before I had chance to check the summary! I need to make a couple of corrections, but it will be easiest to replace the whole thing. "A gem of nineteenth-century science fiction from mountaineer, philosopher and occasional novelist, Edward Douglas Fawcett. Stanley...

15 & 16 Ready for Spot PL!

Anne, If you are thinking of using an image from the book, the ones in the copy I read have not scanned very well, but there are much better copies on the Wikipedia page for the book.

12 & 13 ready for spot PL!

Thanks! You posted those PL notes while I was uploadiing.

Corrections to 3,4,5, 7, 9. 10, 11 uploaded!

I see we have the Purple Cloud as well, but as a collab, so that one is fair game for me

Last two chapters ready for PL!

I have lots to say about this book, but I don't want to spoil the end!

Thanks! And here come Chapters 10 & 11.

Thanks for the PL note on Ch 7. I am having a bit of a holiday, so will continue to edit and do corrections when I am back home. Ready for PL... https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/hartmann_08_fawcett.mp3 - 13:45 https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/hartmann_09_fawcett.mp3 - 17:39 Why do the baddies ...

Thanks! Once it is changed from Preset to Constant the other settings are done for you, and as you say it stays like that for ever. I was thrown because there seemed to be no setting for 128kbps. Anyway... Chapter 6 ready for spot PL (I'll do the files with omissions later) and https://librivox.org/...

Hi Anne,

I have just started using the most recent version of Audacity. I think the version I've been using is about 5 years old! Do we have specs for exporting MP3 files? I am guessing 'Preset', 'Standard 170-210', 'Fast' and 'Force export to mono'?

The Secret Agent meets War of the Worlds? What I am enjoying is how he has to stretch the plot beyond credibility to keep Syanley as narrator.

Nice poems! I especially enjoyed Autumn Evening! Our FMF collection is looking pretty good. Of his PD work, Audible only has the Fifth Queen and the Good Soldier. And their Good Soldier is British, while ours is American, which is how it should be! I forgot to tell you, after listening to the Ford M...
