Dave at craigdav1 says he will dpl/mc Thanks!




Dave, though there are several authors this is just one book so I'm assuming it's not treated as a collection? I could include the author in the title of each section?

[craigdav1]

Not a collection is right. Putting their names in the title seems like a good strategy.

[craigdav1]

Moving topic to the Going Solo forum to keep the Launch Pad tidy.

Gives a very different viewpoint than what one usually reads -- much more real, I should think. I've finished recording this diary and there are real privations to come.

Both files are referred to initially as "Section 1". I find this a bit confusing. The listener might think they are listening to the same file. Could the second file be called "section 2" or perhaps they might be called "story 1, part1/2?"

[david wales]

Hi Dave, I see what you mean. I want to use "part" for the parts that several of the narratives have. These are not really stories but true narratives. That's why I chose "section" for each work. How about starting off each part with a fuller identification, so

instead of
Section 1 of Famous Adventures And Prison Escapes of the Civil War, by Various
This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain.
Section 1 WAR DIARY OF A UNION WOMAN IN THE SOUTH Part 2
use
Section 1 Part 2 of Famous Adventures And Prison Escapes of the Civil War, by Various
This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain.
Section 1 WAR DIARY OF A UNION WOMAN IN THE SOUTH Part 2
and so forth.

[craigdav1]

Section 1 Part 2 of Famous Adventures And Prison Escapes of the Civil War, by Various
This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain.
Section 1 WAR DIARY OF A UNION WOMAN IN THE SOUTH Part 2
and so forth.

This is better because the listener quickly knows that they are listening to the next part (since the previous outro will say "part 1"). A minor quibble...When the book is catalogued the files are listed consecutively as sections (1-17) and the audio will have 7 sections (with parts) that don't correspond to the book page. Admittedly, almost no one will be looking at the book page while listening to the files.

Another possibility...
Section 1 of Famous Adventures And Prison Escapes of the Civil War, by Various
This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain. WAR DIARY OF A UNION WOMAN IN THE SOUTH Part 1
Then for the next file,
Section 2 of Famous Adventures And Prison Escapes of the Civil War, by Various
This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain. WAR DIARY OF A UNION WOMAN IN THE SOUTH Part 2
Until,
Section 17...

Either of these is better.

[david wales]

I like your suggestion better than mine. So I have corrected section 1 and section 2 intros and outros to reflect that. Thanks for your input.
