Wow, it sounds amazing! Excellent job everyone, I'm really impressed.

One thing, the files are quite loud. They are at 94 - 96 db and I did have to turn my volume down slightly to listen to them. But it's not a terrible problem, if it's difficult to fix.

Act 1: I noticed the title ID3 tag calls the file 01 - Act 1. The other files don't have the 0 (they are just 2 - Act 2 etc). Otherwise PL OK.

Act 2: I spotted a tiny mistake in one of Helena's lines that significantly changed the meaning of what was said.
2:03 Said you speak as if you were to blame for your being old; should be you speak as if we were to blame for your being old.
Otherwise PL OK.

Act 3: There is a minor, non-meaning changing error in one of Helena's lines.
6:04 Said if it is no then he must be kept away from here; should be if it is no then he must keep away from here
And another of Helena's lines is missing completely.
31:14 Take me away! Take me away! I can't stay here, I can't.

Act 4: PL OK.

It was great to get my Chekhov fix, I've missed it during exams, and sadly I'm not going to be directing him after all, not enough people will be around during summer.

Thanks so much for doing a careful PL, Lucy - much appreciated. mb, I will PM Karen about these changes.

Edited to add: no need to change the ID3 tag for Act 1, mb - I've already changed it in the validator.

The missing line is in the file I submitted.

I'll fix the other two.

By the way, I have made a CD cover for this project. I'll post it in the CD cover thread once the catalogue page is done.
