New additions to the catalog

Posted on April 24, 2009 by | Posted in about LibriVox, For Volunteers, News, Uncategorized | Comments: 5 Comments on New additions to the catalog

Thanks to the good people at Archive.org, we are now beginning to add the new items that you have been waiting for! :D

A number of new works have already been cataloged thanks to our intrepid world-wide and sleep deprived MC volunteers, and they’ll continue to chip away at the backlog just as fast as they can. Keep an eye on the New Releases feed for new audio as it becomes available.

And, gentle listeners, as always LibriVox needs you to point out any problems that may occur with the new process. Please post any observed weirdness in the Error Reports forum.

Project cataloging temporarily delayed

Posted on April 22, 2009 by | Posted in about LibriVox, News | Comments: 6 Comments on Project cataloging temporarily delayed

Eager listeners may have noticed we haven’t put much new in the catalog recently. Fear not! The mighty armies of LibriVoxateers are still producing hours of audio daily.

However, the Internet Archive (the folks who host LibriVox’s files) are making some changes to the way audio files are derived and presented. Once the dust settles at Archive, we’ll begin cataloging the backlog, and the regular audio wonderfulness we’ve all come to expect and love will resume.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Listen to LibriVox Community Podcast #100 hosted by Cori Samuel and Sean McGaughey.
[audio:http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_community_2009/librivox_community_podcast_100.mp3]
Duration 22:16

  • Topic: I think the podcast number tells the story. :D
  • Voices: You’ll hear lots, too many to name individually (though if you really need to know, please post and we’ll track’em down for you.)
  • Music: Mostly original compositions, digitaltoast used a royalty-free music-bed, and I’ve melded a splendid Chopin Polonaise from the superb musopen.com, performed by Paul Pitman, with Sean’s voiceover.
