Book: Toilers of the Sea
I downloaded the zip file from here:
https://librivox.org/toilers-of-the-sea-by-victor-hugo/
I noticed some small portions of dead air in the following locations.
Track 26 - Part II Book 1 Ch 8-10: 1:34 to 1:47
Track 37 - Part II Book IV Ch 5-7: 20:36 to 20:48

Thanks for a great reading.

Confirmed on the 64kbps files. I didn't listen to see if text was missing.

I've looked at the files I have and they are missing there too . The reader hasn'tbeen on since 2011 so I'm not realy sure what we can do about it. Neither are essential to the story, if we cut out the space in the first one only someone reading with the text would know.

Every time I scan this forum without my glasses on I read this as "Toilets of the Sea." Every time.

Even with the little errors, this reading of "Toilers of the Sea" was one of the greatest audiobook experiences I ever had! It was transcendent!

That's the reason I'm not prepared to try and patch in another reader , there is no way it could be seamless - and we all need to accept that although we aim for 100% accuracy , we need to accept it will not happen. The reading makes sense as is , and that is why we PL.

I've done all I can - at least there are no longer gaps
