Summary text (Summary by Jami Chambers)
Into the home of an interesting but self-centered family in old France comes Paula, a young orphaned cousin, from the little village of Villar, in the Waldensian Valley. Though living very simply, tending cows, goats, sheep and rabbits, Paula has been brought up to know and love the Lord Jesus and read the Scriptures. Her Lord and His Word are the center of her life, and she can no more keep this good news all to herself than she can stop breathing or eating.
This causes a good many complications, for her cousins' home was one where "religion" was a forbidden subject, never to be mentioned, and Paula soon found herself forbidden to read her own precious Bible.
Paula's loving obedience, her happy friendliness and charm, her overflowing love for everyone she meets, win the hearts of all, family and neighbors alike, and cause many a change in that little French village on the road from Rouen to Darnetal.
This book was originally written in French, Translated into Spanish, and then into English.

Ok magic box is up. I will pop this over to readers found since it is not really a solo.

Still a few things missing. In the part where you are to say the disclaimer, you should put the actual title, author and translator's names in.
I would recomend droping the word "the" from the filename:
paulawaldensian_1-01_lecomte.mp3
Some mp3 players have tiny screens and this will help them but still nicely identify the file.
Id tags look great.
Will move over to readers found now that you have seen this....

Ok I added "Part 1" To what you need to say since you have a 2 part book. I think everything is set.
If you have any questions just shout!

01 is not working for me. And can you add it's duration?
Not sure if I have time to pl, but I would listen to chapter 1 and sea how it is. And if you wrote "Ready to catalogue", does it mean that you already have a dpl?

Love gothic novels? Try Children Of The Abbey. Like surprising mysteries? Try The Amathist Cross. Looking for an easy read? Try Harriet's Choice.
The link is working but when I clicked it, I noticed the filename is wrong.
paulawaldensian_1_01.mp3
Instead of underscore, we need a hyphen
paulawaldensian_1-01.mp3
Also the tags are wrong-
Title: 1-01 - An Unexpected Letter
Artist: Eva Lecomte
Album: Paula the Waldensian
I need these to be consistent else cataloging will be murder. I can fix this one for you.
