Hi Phil,

Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are PL OK! :thumbs:

My apologies if there has been a delay in PLing some of the sections. I generally rely on the notifications from readers' postings of the completion of their sections/chapters.

Great job so far! I'll have the rest of the sections completed this evening or tomorrow. :)

That is absolutely OK Don. I am in no rush at all. This has been a most interesting find and read for me. Gee, it 's nice getting a glimpse into another culture and seeing how they are a lot the same as us.

Sections 13 and 14 are PL OK! :clap:

Just for completeness, I PLed the intros/outros for Sections 4, 5, and 6 (under the assumption that you did not re-record those chapters). I can do the same, if you think it is helpful, when you complete the adjustments for Sections 1, 2, and 3.

I second that. I found the project, and your narration, very enjoyable to listen to. I appreciate being able to DPL this project, and getting a brief view of the day-to-day culture of a country I hadn't been exposed to in the past.

Thank you,

Yes. I have forgotten what adjustments I was supposed to make but a quick check of the intro/outros would be appreciated.

Hi Phil,

I went through the first 3 sections, and it appears that the following needs to be done (probably in the following order):

A) Section 3 (ajapaneseboy_03_shiukichi_128kb.mp3): Currently contains the recordings for Chapters 5 and 6, which is also which is also (now) in Sections 5 and 6 respectively, so this content needs to be eliminated.

B) Section 2 (ajapaneseboy_02_shiukichi_128kb.mp3): Currently contains the recordings for Chapters 3 and 4.
a) The Chapter 4 portion is already in Section 4, so it needs to be eliminated from this recording (from 10:52 to the end).
b) Edit the recording to record and replace new intro for Chapter 3, including the Chapter 3 title description, and check/adjust ending silence.
c) Rename the recording for Section 3 (i.e. ajapaneseboy_03_shiukichi_128kb.mp3)

C) Section 1 (ajapaneseboy_01_shiukichi_128kb.mp3): Currently contains the recordings for Prefatory Letter, Chapters 1 and 2.
a) Copy the Chapter 2 portion of the recording into a new file (ajapaneseboy_02_shiukichi_128kb.mp3) for Section 2, from 13:51 to the end.
b) Add and intro to the recording for Chapter 2, including the Chapter 2 title description, and check/adjust ending silence.
c) Edit the Section 1 recording to remove the Chapter 2 portion (from 13:51 to the end).
d) Adjust the recording for the new intro for the Prefatory Letter and Chapter 1, including the Chapter 1 title description, and check/adjust ending silence.

I hope my attempt to put this in a step-by-step order was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Wow, when i mess up, I do a good job of it, eh? Apparently when I separated them all, I either filed them in the wrong places or did not name them correctly. Or both. Geeesh! But am i discouraged? Nope. I'll fix these tonight and put them in proper order. :shock:

EDIT: I found that I had not uploaded the corrected chapters 1, 2 and 3, hence the original combined chapters were there. So sorry for the extra time you had to waste listening again because of my oversight.

OK. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 have been fixed. All you need to do is check the beginning and ending to see that I've actually done it this time. This may be the charm. :D

Looks good! The one last item is that for both Section 1 and Section 3, the ending silence is less than 1 second, rather than being around 5 seconds.

Marked these 3 sections as PL OK!

I have fixed the ending silence on 1 and 3 and uploaded them again. :D No need for you to check them, I promise they are close to 5 seconds now. :roll:

Hi Phil. If I could make a suggestion regarding your MW, it would be to shorten the word Chapter in the titles, down to Ch, and eliminate the dash/space. Those 7 extra characters take up a lot of room on an iPhone screen, robbing valuable space from the title. It would render thus:

Chapter 5 - Baths-Evenings At Home-Japanese Dancing and Music
Ch 5 Baths-Evenings At Home-Japanese Dancing and Music

This conveys exactly the same information, it could apply to all your future projects, and make us iPhone users very happy. :D
