I did not input any information in for the ID3 tag as in all my recent reads with the new system I was told that it was input by the computer by information in the MW. Is that correct?
May I record sections 01 and 02? The MW doesn't work yet to show me the text but my best guess is it's the beginning of the TOC.
Please advise when the material is ready, thanks!

Hi Susan thank you for your section. I will sign you up to the next two sections. I have done the google docs and will put in the links and the section titles tonight just got a bit late last night to do them. Will let you know when they are in there. Just going to have my tea and then will get cracking. Thanks

Would you advise how the above should be read to make sense or just read as is? I can't make sense of 56th Thousand. 5s is 5 shillings?
Susan
I would say to just read as it is. I have tried to find a meaning for it but to no avail. I will ask on the forum to see if anyone else has an idea that is more literary savvy than myself. Will keep you posted.

Thank you for your response. I can record and leave it out for now and plug it in when we know a little more or I record as is.
