I move this thread to "Readers Found".
Hi Viktor,
When I'm using the MW I sign in with my password and I can edit some columns but not the Notes column - I don't know if I should be able to, to leave a link to my Reply message. Also it still says Login at the foot of the table when I am logged in. There's no visible Save button and when I return to the window after closing it, my change to the Status column has returned to Assigned from Needs PL. I'm using Version 117.0.5938.88 (Official Build) (arm64) of Chrome but it doesn't behave any differently in Safari 16.6 (18615.3.12.11.2). Is it me?
Viktor, I found if I click the pen on the extreme right of a line in the MW, I can amend all the boxes.so I'm okay now

Sections 2 and 3 are both PL OK
(In the absence of my traditional, compulsive "thumbs-up" for PL OK files, you will get my soul patch and green glasses faces that crack me up)

Section 4 is also PL OK
His subtle humor cracks me up, e.g. the passage about the only English phrases the Spaniards knew.
This "war," though - very interesting circumstances, supply situation, state of training, etc. And I'm waiting for a chapter on typhoid, cholera, yellow fever, with the trench defecation going on . . .

You have been busy! Well done I took a long weekend off! I better get back to it. I don't get emails to tell me you've posted and I am subscribed to the topic. Do you get them?

Well, I haven't subscribed, so I don't know if that comes through on email. I just check each morning/evening when I check my LV feed.

This is the first one that’s come through to my email. I must have ticked/unticked the right box yesterday.

Hi,
Finally finished this one. It's nearly an hour. Death by initials. I was away for the weekend hence the slowdown
Enjoy

Nice work, as always, Adrian. Section 5 is PL OK
You weren't kidding about the initials - I was literally cracking up over them several times.
But it was a terrific chapter for absorbing much better understanding about the nature of the Spanish Civil War.

Lynette, you always see the good in everything. So glad we are a team on this
I'll get on with the next chapter now as you've reignited my regard for the book. Let's face it... after that chapter, the only way is up! Isn't it...?

This one's half the length of the previous one and pretty low on initials

Yay! I was able to get into Legamus yesterday and pulled the latest two sections.
Section 6 is PL OK
A note, though - this section comes in at only 86.3 dB. I don't know if you want to raise it a little? If so, I'm happy to spot-PL. (I just know that a lot of our listeners at LV have trouble with anything under 89 - don't know if Legamus has lower parameters, though?)

P.S. My husband also heard this chapter, as he's home for the weekend, and quite enjoyed your reading.

To be honest I don’t know if Legamus has different formats to LibriVox. I don’t think so. Anyway I always treat my tracks with MP3 gain and then Checker. I had a bit of difficulty with one track increasing the decibels I tried a few times. I guess I finally left it. It’s been quite awhile since I had that episode because of the downtime so I can’t remember which one it is but it could’ve been this one you’re talking about. I’ll give it another go and see what I can do. It’s quite a lame excuse…

HI, after all that story I've quite easily upgraded Section 6 (I think)...

Hello,
I confirm that we don't have any different standards for volume. Doing everything just like for LibriVox will be fine, and it will also facilitate that moment in the future when the text is PD in the US and the recording can be shared with LibriVox.

Hi, Adrian!
You've been waiting forever for this chapter - I tried to get to it before our trip, but too many errands popped up ahead of the traveling.
But Chapter 7 is PL OK
(eww, the louse passage!)
Also, Ch. 6 is so much better
