Well done. :D

The following sections are PL OK: 76, 77, 78, 80, and 81.

Section 79 needs one correction: at about 5:38, the text reads "where in the summer of 401 b.c. a battle was fought". You have "battle of 401 bc..." instead of "summer"

Section 82 has one repeat. At about 0:10 and 0:12 the text "all librivox" is repeated.

Got interrupted by the phone while listening to section 83 so I'll have to get that one to you later.

Lynnet - all the filenames for sections 76-83 need a leading "0" for the section number.

Thanks,

M
Hey, M. Real glad to hear I didn't screw up the pronunciations on all those Greek words. There's been a trickle of sweat on my brow for a while now that I'd have to re-record the whole thing. Sorry for the couple of hang-ups - I listened back to the files at roughly 2x speed while scanning the source text for any mistakes, but looks like I didn't quite get them all. Anyways, these new files should be error-free:
https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/storyofgreece_79_macgregor_128kb.mp3 (10 minutes, 49 seconds)
https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/storyofgreece_82_macgregor_128kb.mp3 (9 minutes, 37 seconds)

Cheers.

Very nicely done. :)

Section 6 is PL OK.

Section 16 needs two small changes.
At about 7:14 the text reads "nor was his true name No Man" - the latter part of that text sounds like you've got an extra part of a word in it. Could you please redo that short phrase.
Please also add over a second of silence to the end

Thanks,

M

Re: ch44 and 45

Hi! I’m sorry to take so long with this. I’ve been having a really difficult time getting my recordings to convert properly to the librivox specifications. I finally got the uploader to accept my filtered and trimmed section 44 (7:01):

https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/storyofgreece_044_macgregor_128kb.mp3

But I can’t get the uploader to accept ch 45, even though I converted it exactly as I did ch 44. I get an error message saying that the file type is not allowed.

I’ll keep trying, but I’m quite frustrated and confused as to what is wrong.

Ch 45 (11:16). The uploader decided to accept it!

Can't even tell where you changed battle to summer, well done. Both sections are now PL OK.

Hai

I am from India. Here copyright law is +60 years after the death of the author.
I would like to know if I'll be able to move forward with this project.

(1961+60=2021) Is this how it should be calculated? Or does copyright expire only from 2022?
