The "audiobooks" API gives information about the books and links to ZIP files of the entire contents of the book. What I was looking for was individual URLs to each file segment so they can be downloaded piecemeal instead of all at once. But the RSS feeds do provide such links, so thank yo...

No answer to my questions? Ok, let me restate: How do you get the actual location of the audio files from the API? Going back to my example, if you look at http://librivox.org/api/feed/audiotracks/?project_id=685 there's no way to know where exactly the files are located. How would this be done? Tha...

Hi, The "audiotracks" listing seems to be missing links to the actual audiotracks. For example, http://librivox.org/api/feed/audiotracks/?project_id=685 shows me: <xml> <sections> <section> <id>131328</id> <section_number>1</section_number> <title>Stave 1</title> <listen_url/> <language>En...

Anybody may join, Frances. All you have to do is PM your definition of "arctophily" to catrose! Just be sure it's a PM and not a thread reply!

Hi, everyone. Here's chapter 38 with a run time of 44m09s: http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/mas/henrydunbar_38_braddon.mp3 And I do still intend on following through with my prior commitments (39, 46 and 47) -- been dealing with family issues, but I'm still here and still working! Thanks! -=...

Sorry for the delay, folks, but here are the results! The real definition for zakuska is simply, according to both the American Heritage Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, "an hors d'oeuvre." The etymology is from the Russian, "zakusit" meaning to have a snack, and th...

Here are your candidate definitions for zakuska : A ninjutsu throwing star An instrument played in Greek marching bands An hors d'oeuvre An ungulate of the ox family A domed tent An alcoholic Russian soup A tribal strategy game from Uganda PM me your guesses for the definition of zakuska and I'll ta...

I am curious how you got your volume to perfectly 89.00 and NO clipping. You're a genius!!! My secret is that I probably spent too much time on the various volume and noise-related adjustments. :D I used the 'checker' to figure out exactly how much to amplify the entire recording (4.2 dB or so, I t...

Hobbit, Unfortunately, the definitions have to be PM'd (private messaged) to me, otherwise everybody will know that that definition is yours! :shock: You are still more than welcome to participate; feel free to PM me a different definition for zakuska , and I will gladly include it in the list. Than...
