Project Gutenberg has a section just for human read audiobooks, are these LibriVox projects? And if so, why is it not updated to include the rest of the LV catalog?

hi seth, we are in communication with PG, and here are some quick answers:

1. the PG audiobooks are not LV projects
2. we have discussed how to cross polinate. problem: currently PG "does not link" but only hosts files (not sure the tech reasons). so we talked a bit about copying all our files onto their servers, but that seemed like an unnecssary duplication of resources.

actually this is a good reminder for me to check in with them again. We had a long philosophical back & forth about how best to proceed, and agreed in principle (that PG should link from their book pages to us), but they were undergoing some tech upgrades, and we haven't had any more exchanges in more than a month.

I'll keep you posted.

I've just been looking through them and find quite a number in the human read section of Gutenberg are computer read.

...which is simply beyond awesome. It's terrific.

Seth, wanna read some older posts about it?
