Cool - but where do you get those stats from?! I've often seen people saying "it was downloaded x times", but I can't find the info

It's on the archive page. Scroll down to the bottom.

Oh yeah! I never knew about those pages - better still, it has a "proper" flash player in the top right hand corner - I spent a couple of hours last night trying to write a Greasemonkey plugin that would make the Librivox catalogue pages a little more friendly (ie: Flashplayer) and there it was all the time.
And there are ratings and reviews* - I wonder if the link to archive.org mightn't be a bit bigger or more obvious, otherwise, I think many people, like me, will be struggling with the librivox front end and not know about the "actual" pages? Does this all make sense?

(*long, long overdue!)

Ok, I know we're all, like, sooo over Pi now

, but I just happened upon this song, which I don't remember as being among the ones that were linked to here at the time, and thought I'd share.
(It's the 'not rounded' that gets me...)

yeah, that is an awesome one.
on Pi day My math teacher had pi music repeating, it was that, the Pi rap (lose yourself in the digits), and a couple others
