... I think that is how I am meant to do it?

People handle chapter titles differently and I accept it - as long as they start with the section numbers so they sort in order. Sarah and I belong to the "like chapter titles" school obviouslyBidgiewidgie wrote:
I can certainly change the chapter titles/tags, I can't remember exactly why they were so short, there must have been some logical reason at the time, but so much horrible stuff has happened since that I am forgetting a lot of little things that I would otherwise remember and I can't at all remember why I made them shorter. I suspect I would have read somewhere on the Librivox forums that this is how it was done, or I heard and remembered examples in other texts like that, or something else to have made me think that was the way to do it? Otherwise, I wouldn't have shortened them since, being a trained professional historian and a complete nerd, I am usually such a stickler for authenticity. But really, I haven't the foggiest. I am not invested at all in any particular format for them and happy to change them if that is the best way to do it, I just might need a little advice for how to do it! for the ID3 tags do I have to remake the mp3 and redo the tags that way or is there another way?]
THe uploader is very clever. When you upload a file with the same name as one already there it renames the existing file by adding the date/time to the file name , and then uploading the new file. So the MW always links to the newest version.And thank you for pointing out the couple of errors that I missed during the editing, I will go and fix what I can. Before I do though, should I actually be making these changes and uploading a new version or is that just a waste of people's time with uploading new versions and them having to post them to the MW? In the spirit of the gutenberg 99% correctness approach, that is, two words out of place might be fine and not need changing so I am checking before doing the changes. With that, how do I re-post a chapter? I suspect there is an option in the uploading to say something is a re-submit? or does the moderator (?) just replace the old file with the updated version referring to the title?
Its up to you with the table of contents , most people don't. But I am listening to something now that has them. It does depend on the book and we don't insist on people reading the text under illustrations or footnotes either.and I read the chapter titles and picture titles because in various other non-fiction/text book recordings I have heard on Librivox, this is how it was done so I thought that is what was wanted because it is making a copy of the original text. I also have a vague memory of reading it somewhere in the forums and how-to guides that like in a book a reader might skip the table of contents, in a recording they could fast forward through them. Or do you think they were referring to the inclusion of a separate preface file?
I wish my memory was working perfectly and I could answer all these things with conviction!
There really is a lot to learn about recording things properly and I appreciate your time and experience. Thank you, again.

Absolutely agree! Totally up to you if you make the changes, but I'll always point out anything obvious because I sure wouldn't want you to listen to it a year from now, be disappointed with something, and say "why didn't that darn PL'er tell me to fix that?"!annise wrote:Some PLing notes you need to change like any technical issues and the intro and outro but others are up to you - unless the extra/mixed word changes the meaning you needn't do anything.
