Your catalog page is updated Ashton. Your reading and specs are all good.
The only thing to change is the ID3 tags, your file has both V1 & V2.30 tags attached, this sometimes messes with the cataloging. If you could leave the tags blank it would be appreciated, that info is filled in automatically from the Magic Window anyways.

Here's mine -- (length 0:58)

I took the speaker to be saying something about how slowly we reveal ourselves to each other -- one tidbit at a time -- then just when we get nearly ready to open all the sealed jars -- time runs out on us.

Thank you Jennifer and Maria.

That's a good take on the meaning Maria.

Good first reading Dave.

Just a couple of notes, ther volume was a bit low at 85.6 dB, with a background noise level of 44 dB.
I took the liberty of amplifying and applying Noise Reduction to your file in order to catalog this project.

You should aim for your wave forms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

You can check your own volume useing our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker Make sure you download the experimental version - you will find the volume in decibels on the Information tab. For your information, we look for around 89 dB.

*Please let me know under what name would you like to appear in the LV catalog and if you have one, we can put your personal URL link on your catalog page too.
You can view your brand new LV Catalog page by clicking your forum name in the Magic Window.
