That is impressive Jordan! Since you seem to be very tech savvy and know your way around the Magic Window, can I ask if you have every been a Book Coordinator (BC) here in LibriVox yet? If not, may I offer the opportunity for you to 'practice' with this project by posting claims and other stuff? Just a thought.
I really am impressed with what you have done so far; it far outdistances my simple knowledge of doing stuff. Anyway, it is just a thought since you obviously would be a wonderful BC. Perhaps there are some books dear to your heart you would want to open and shepherd through?

No, I haven't done any BC work (well, unless you count the solo projects I've done).

If you're willing to let me be BC for this, then I'm willing to give it a go!

EDIT: It seems that solo projects do count as me being the BC...

I would love for you to do this. For one thing it would take a lot of detail work (which I am not good at) off of my plate. So I will put you in as BC which will enable you to post links, put in claims, etc. I will of course be right here to welcome potential readers new to LibriVox and for immediate help. If it ever becomes burdensome please do not hesitate to say so and I will jump in. Projects like this with short sections are excellent for brand new readers to cut their recording and editing teeth on and that is part of the reason why I do a lot of them. But they do need to finish their 1 minute test and get the OK before recording. You will see what I tell 'em when one joins.

I will of course PL any poem that you want to record. This is neat! Thanks for bringing your expertise to the table; an old guy like me just does not know my way around this tech stuff.

Hi Tony,

There was nothing wrong with the recording. However, you don't need to include 'Rudyard Kipling. From "Rudyard Kipling's Verse, 1885-1918."' at 2:38-2:47. As the opening post says, 'do not read any attribution, such as where the poem came from, e.g. 'from the book Down the Road''.

Whoops! That note was probably not there when Tony recorded so I will let this pass, it really isn't important.
EDIT: see? this is what I mean by the details. I never noticed that they had the atritbitions after each of then and had to add the note....... :roll:

Hi JorWat I would really like to know how you create those links to the sections in the book as it would be really useful for other projects.

I looked in the HTML code, and found that each paragraph had an ID, and I knew that meant if you put a #, then the code, the page would load there. So, I copied the HTML code to Excel, filtered the lines where there's '<h2' (which were the poem titles), and did some find and replacing to convert the title and the ID to a link.

I imagine if a book has an actual table of contents, this would be a lot easier, as the links should already exist, they would just need to be extracted.

Right, here we go:

https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/itcanbedone_182_various_128kb.mp3

Length 1:37

I'm not quite sure what accent I ended up doing. I think Jamaican was where I was aiming...

Oh, and going back to BC mode, I believe you need to change

Code: Select all

itcanbedone_##_various_128kb.mp3 [b](all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. itcanbedone_01_various.mp3)
in the opening post to

Code: Select all

itcanbedone_###_various_128kb.mp3 [b](all lower-case) where ### is the section number (e.g. itcanbedone_001_various.mp3)
as I imagine the number length needs to be consistent.

Also, you might want to replace
Note that you will need to open the book and find your chosen poem from the long list. Sorry for the inconvenience but I could not think of an easy way to link to each poem. Let me know if this does not work or is confusing.
with a link to my post with the links to the poems (I've removed the excess stuff, so it's just a list of links now).

Jordan. I changed the file name to allow three spaces; good catch. Concerning the link to the post with the link to each poem, that is too tricky for me. I did mention that this is available 'further down' in the thread. If you know how to put a link in the first post to your post with all the poem links, please do it or tell me how. :D

Both PL OK! (though I am ever uncertain as to if 6 seconds of silence is too long...)

As for linking my post, this should work:
