[DONE] French Passage from book

johnb2 · Post by **johnb2** » April 14th, 2018, 7:40 am

I can't read French. Can I get a female or male French speaker to record this passage
that appears at the beginning of a chapter of Strangers and Pilgrims by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. The book is in the Readers Found section.

" Et je songeais comme la femme onblie,
Et je sentais un lambeau de ma vie
Qui se dechirait lentement."

I hope I can cut and paste your section into the book

Hi John,

I'll get you that.

ETA: here you are: https://librivox.org/uploads/ezwa/French4johnb2.mp3 (there was a typo: it's "la femme oublie").

Hi Ezwa

I tried to cut and paste the section you sent me, but Audacity does not recognize the file.
Any tips to open it in Audacity?

I happened to be online; I downloaded the file and it played okay. It may be that you tried to "open" the file with Audacity, rather than "importing" it.

Thank you Peter,

I can open the file OK here. But it won't open when I import to Audacity.

It opens OR imports fine for me in Audacity, too. Very strange.

Try this one: https://librivox.org/uploads/ezwa/French4johnb2.flac

If that doesn't work, please give exact steps of what you are doing.

Thank you both. for your solutions.

Tricia The link you sent did the trick!!!

Changing the mp3 to flac was the answer.
