Section 3 uploaded.

Let me know if you would prefer me to get another proof-listener, HP. I know you are very busy.

Ruth

These people might be interested in adding Legamus to their list of collections.

Very pretty site, I must say.

Ruth

I wrote that last summer, but then blew up a couple of computers, so I am well behind. It is now underway.

Ruth

I should be delighted if you would, HP, as long as it is OK with you. Standard PL will be fine. There are a couple of typos in the Gutenberg.au text anyway, so I had to check with other sources.

Section 02 uploaded, completing the first story.

Ruth

Thank you, HP!

Section 01 uploaded. I have split the first story into two parts, as it was a bit of a squeeze to make the whole thing less than 74 minutes, and also there was a smashing cliff-hanger at a suitable spot in the middle.

Ruth

Ah, thank you! That is good to know.

I can now edit the MW. Now for the fun stuff. (Puts on smoking jacket, lights pipe, and prepares to be the illustrious Mr. Holmes...)

Ruth

Thank you, HP! :)

I don't know if I have a Google ID, to be honest. I certainly use Google docs, but I never understand the way Google works. I am PMing you the email address I use for Google docs.

I had been meaning to ask about track numbers. I see in the MW that Section 0 should be Track 0 ...

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes Part 1 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930)] (first published 1927)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://legamus.eu/blog/?p=778

And so, reader, farewell to Sherlock Holmes! These are positively the last ...

Has any recent approach been made to the European Archive? I notice that a lot has changed there, and discovered this page:
http://www.europarchive.org/hostyourcollection.php

They have a Media | Recordings section which currently only has Public Classical Music. I should think it is worth trying ...

Thank you, Nadine and Viktor for all your help and patience.

I have blogged and tweeted.

Ruth

I will set this up within the next month.

Ruth

Many thanks, Viktor.

It isn't really poetry - poetic prose, but certainly prose. I thought non-fiction, or philosophy.

Duration: 44:35

The original file was too bad. Noise-cleaning made it sound too thin, so I re-recorded it, and I have had it proof-listened.

That is, I promise you, finally the end of The Prophet.

Ruth

OK, here we go again.

I am working on part 2 now.

Ruth

Viktor, I meant to reply, but then my computer died and I have been struggling to get an old one working well enough to do anything.

I meant to say that I didn't mean to cause any offence about the compressed file - I was just looking for a solution that would offer the best quality in the smallest ...

I have never seen how anything by George Orwell can be PD here - posthumously published or not.

Ruth

Nadine

Please see my posts at http://legamus.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=791#p791 about the 64kbps version of the files.

Ruth

I have uploaded this file at http://dl.free.fr/k7n8yNZ6w

Please let me know what you think. I will do both files in this way if you are in agreement.

Ruth

Never mind, I listened myself. Silly me. :roll:

I hadn't realised that it was to be offered as a 64 mbps download. I would have made a copy of the Audacity file and resampled at 22 KHz, and exported from that as a 64 kbps MP3. I find that this yields far superior quality, really quite hard to ...

What does the 64 kbps sound like? I know that Iambik had difficulty with quality at first when they converted 44KHz sample rate files to 64kbps MP3.
