IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

P.S. I noticed you don't have section titles in the Magic Window yet. You'll need to do that before cataloging. (They are used for the data in the MP3 itself and show on the screen when listening, as well as showing on the catalog page.)

Sorry. Yes. Hold off. I loaded the initial one not fixed, by mistake. I also loaded, then removed 32 because I found a problem to fix.

Thanks. K
