Yes, they're in the right order, but the names are wrong.

[RESOLVED] Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow

http://librivox.org/idle_thoughts_of_an_idle_fellow_by_jerome_k_jerome/ This will deflnitely need confirmation because it's been a while since I downloaded it, but the first podcast is labeled as section 01, "On Being Idle", when it's actually section 00, a dedication and preface. The erro...

New version of Chap. 4

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lc/phoenixcarpet_04_nesbit.mp3 It's now 32:24. I didn't realize my trailer was *quite* that long. (I had a track that was just dead air adding even more than I thought!) The voice part is the same; I only edited the trailer and the ID tags. Let me know if the...

I only just saw your post, Anne! (Sorry, it's been quite a month for me, and I *thought* I had this topic set up to notify me for posts. ^_^;;;) I'll be careful about the ID tag in future. Thanks so much for the feedback. I've been worrying about whether I did a tolerable job. I'll get on Chap. 5. G...

Chapter 4

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lc/phoenixcarpet_04_nesbit.mp3

It's 33 min, 52 sec, but there's a 4 second leader and a quite long trailer. Let me know if I should clip and resend.

In fact, let me know if I should redo it. It sounds awful to me, but then I always sound awful to myself!

You're right!

Confirmation came from Plantronics: the headset is simply incompatible with the iPod.

Oh, well. I got a pair of headphones for the iPod on FreeCycle. ^_^

Thanks!

I'm working on it!!!

I'm currently making my way through Audacity 1-2-3. I haven't even got so far as a real test recording.

My apologies to take so long, but it's my first project and I want to do a decent job. . . .

Adapter for USB headphones?

Hi, all! I bought a USB headset for recording for LibriVox: the Plantronics DSP-400. Is there an adapter available which will allow me to use them as mere listening headphones for my iPod? I hate to buy two separate headphones, especially since the DSP-400 is foldable. (This is actually LibriVox rel...

The zip seems OK

I haven't had time to check all the chapters (I work Sundays ^_^;;;), but the four I did check from the zip file were all correct. Thanks for the confirmation on the podcasts, Kristin! I didn't think the problem could be in my set this time, but iTunes is a strange land as yet to me, so I wasn't sur...

[RESOLVED] Short Mystery Story Collection 001

Hi, all! I'm sorry, you must be sick of hearing from me, but I really think this one isn't my fault. I don't see how it could be. Name of Book: Short Mystery Story Collection 1 -Chapter/Section Number: Entire book -File format (64kbps mp3, 128 kbps mp3, ogg vorbis): 64 kbps mp3 -How you downloaded t...

try downloading the chapters one at a time, using ctrl-click-->save-link-as-->save to desktop. I've been doing that to patch the recordings. I have to copy the name of the old file over the individually downloaded one and move it to the correct iTunes folder, but at least it works for patching. I g...

I have come to believe the problem is on my end; I just can't believe that LibriVox would be so flawed as to be causing such a repetitive problem. I have yet to download a complete book: the end of at least one episode is missing. Unfortunately the "Update Podcast" feature doesn't work to ...

Hi, Alan! I am on a Macintosh, so I'm getting the Plantronics DSP-400 headset. Maybe I'll move up later, but it seemed the best inexpensive mike for my platform. I found an article on the web that had a sample recording, and given the low price, I was impressed. I do like that I'll have my hands fre...
