Hi Sarah! No inconvenience for me! It is more work for the soloist though, since you are responsible for the Magic Window and everything!

Here's what you need to know about the Magic Window (MW) : https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Soloists:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window
You'll need to create a password to access the Magic Window, and this password (forum-name and MW password) is what you'll use to sign in the Uploader too.
Start from https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Soloists:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window#Accessing_the_System_%E2%80%93_First_Time_Login to create your password.

I've filled in a couple of sections as an example. Then everytime you upload a file, you add the link to the MW (Listen URL column) and in the Notes column you can enter the length of the recording. Mark it "Ready for PL" in the last column, and also post in the thread to say so.

Take your time getting accustomed, and let me know if there are any questions!

Have fun with your project! :clap:

You're still within your target completion date, so that's fine, but:

Just wanted to know if you were still working on it. So it's nice to hear from you! :wink:
