Michele, chapters 16 and 17 seem to have problems with their file names. could you verify them please?
EDIT: I mean their naming looks funny.
EDIT2: if t hey are just transposed I can easily move them around.

Good catch. Looks like they did get transposed. I fixed and verified.

Whoops. They looked OK for a bit but when I uploaded the files to IA there is again no 16 and it throws all the rest our of wack. I will try to see what is causing the problem but it may be awhile before this can be cataloged.
EDIT: what did you do to fix the problem and how did you do it?

I think I just went into the MW and changed the numbers in the file names. 16 to 17. 17 to 16. I did not drag the files to a new location, whichy means the times are wrong. I also uploaded Chapter 1 again this morning, as I noticed last night that the old file was still in place. Want me to upload 16 and 17 again, and plug them in?

Correct times:
16 1:31
17 1:40

No. Someone more knowledgeable is working on this and so we will leave it alone until more info is gathered.

*GRIN*

Applause!
*CONGRATS, MICHELE!*

I'm so pleased to have been even a small part of the team getting this into the wide PD!

Now, after this time to celebrate ...
What're we doing NEXT?

Thank you Phil, and Angelique. It was a pleasure working with you both, and I hope we can team up again.

I just checked Prophet Version 1 on IA, and it's had over 43,700 downloads since January 21st. It will be interesting to see how Version 2 fares. I suspect most listeners start at Version 1 of any book, and seek no further unless they don't like the reader. That's not gonna happen with Mark Smith's rendition.

I'm sure I'll see you around, Dear Michele.
And I'm fully confident that you will have a wide listenership to your version of The Prophet. *wink*

Best!

There's another group who think the latest version must be the best. It's a fairly short project so it's also possible for people to listen to both easily.
