So if you haven't noticed what's going on in Volunteers Wanted, each week I've been featuring a recording on the home page. For each recording that we feature, I've created one 30 second sample of that recording to show on the feature page. I thought 30 second clips might also be a good resource for those looking for something to listen to. I only have 5 clips up as we've only been doing this for 5 weeks. However, they'll be added to this list every week.

In the catalog, offering 30 second clips for the solo-read books would be an awesome idea. Hm.. *scratch scratch* i think it's been discussed before somewhere, where was it.

Very excellent. Something we'll look forward to regularly. Audible.com does this with ALL of its books, giving 2-10 minute samples. This might be something worth aiming for in future, particularly as out longer pieces are 50+ pieces.

Thanks.
