LibriVox Forum

Thanks for your recommendations, comrades. I have queued most of them. Hi Grognor. For non fiction I listen to a lot of the Great Courses series that I download from my library. These are on OneClick, a service similar to Overdrive and available as MP3s. [...] free. I've heard of The Great Courses. ...

I am a truck driver, and I usually listen to things sped up, so I listen to a lot of stuff. I have all of my own recommendations catalogued here: http://grognor.stacky.net/index.php?title=Audio_Content . This lists not just LibriVox content, but also podcasts, lectures, and non-public-domain audiobo...

My life circumstances have recently dramatically changed. I will not be able to complete section 14 and am unlikely to be able to complete section 13, either. My apologies. I already started section 13, so I'd like to finish it, at least, but since I probably won't be able to it's only fair to give ...

I claim chapter VII, sections 13 and 14.

https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/historyofchemistry_26_thomson_128kb.mp3 something went wrong with the data for the .aup file for this. luckily the data was retrievable but it was a save from before I did some volume adjustments. I redid them, I think correctly, so hopefully it's the correct vol...

https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/histofuniversevol2_08_wheeler_128kb.mp3 section 8 duration 16:51 with the right filename this time. I had some trouble getting either ReplayGain or mp3gain to work, so apologies if it's too loud again. Besides, people's idea of what is correct or good with respec...

Section 7 reupload: https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/historyofuniversevol2_07_wheeler_128kb.mp3 Duration has not changed. I must say I'm not a fan of this policy of insisting that volume be lower than it could be (without clipping). I have plenty of times had the experience of not being able to ...

section 7, attempt #1.

I claim chapter 4, sections 7 and 8. The book, in both archived versions, misprints the number of the chapter in-page (but not in the table of contents) as III. I will provisionally assume that it is better to simply correct the mistake in the recording rather than commenting on it or actually sayin...

https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/historyofchemistry_26_thomson_128kb.mp3 section 26, duration 20:11 I did some of my own proof-listening, and left the following minor mistakes in on purpose: 10:25 I say amicable rather than amiable 10:46 I say "it was obvious" instead of "it is ob...

I am pretty experienced at recording, but new to volunteering for LibriVox, so I will be unambitious and claim just one part, 26. Is there some way I can be notified if and when I'm assigned the part? I plan to be pretty punctual with my first part, to gauge whether I want to do more parts. In lieu...

This forum does not appear to allow avatars. Strange. You should think of me as the character in my twitter avatar. I am new to Librivox but not to voice recording; I've been doing so on and off, mostly off, for about six years. This is age but not experience. I haven't been vigorously practicing th...
