Again good news from ge.tt - looks like a suggestion of mine got implemented: if you upload several files, they add a link "Download all" that gives you a ZIP. In other words, you don't have to upload the ZIP separately. The full 3 GB can be used for recordings, without duplicates. And one...

True, it looks better than few months ago, when they were still explaining in their FAQ that they don't host non-institutional content!

Forgot to ask, I did hesitate myself how far "poetry" goes. It's now Philosophy.

Great, finally it's not only me who is picky! Thanks a lot Hokuspokus, I corrected everything. Nadine, we have a template among the "posts", it was my fault of being too liberal with it (and too strict with this thread's first post). Some stuff I just didn't see - the red colour mysterious...

Cataloged! Tell me whether the text, taken from the first post, is OK for the catalog too, and I remove the password (which is "legamus").

Edit: Installed a Wordpress plug-in for excluding password-protected pages from the main page.

Happy New Year from me too ! And the shift of the year is happy for us* indeed, as new texts enter the life+70 public domain: Rabindranath Tagore (already in the Indian life+60 PD), Virginia Woolf... and let's not forget translators, there's a couple of German Edgar Wallace translations :-) *of cour...

Now that I have a closer look at the first work in the catalogue, shouldn't we add systematically to each post our disclaimer "This text is in the public domain and this recording is under the CC0 license in many European and other countries that follow the life+70 principle. Please verify the ...

With our own server anything is possible. :mrgreen: It's just that, for the moment, it would be a bit over-dimensioned. Once we gain some momentum, it will be there, in one way or the other! Allow me to quote myself ;) If I had my own download server, I'd put the individual files there, so people ca...

You can do the upload, too! The nice Legamus link is provided by the Link Resolver, that's the one piece of the meta tools that is already working. I sent you the link and the access codes. In some months, I hope it's the Finisher tool which will check volume and tags before one of us does the uploa...

We haven't talked about that yet as far as I remember: I think we should put the files in one zip for the download. Much easier to maintain. I suggest we have both: One ZIP file and individual files. Single files make sense because people might just want to "listen in", and some freehoste...

Exactly my opinion ;) I just re-uploaded Ruth's original 128 kbps files, without any of my "vandalism". A ZIP file and two individual MP3s are available under the old links http://legamus.eu/link/Khalil_Gibran-The_Prophet/complete (89 MB) http://legamus.eu/link/Khalil_Gibran-The_Prophet/p...

Good news from http://ge.tt - if one has a free account there, they give you now 2 or 3 GB and the files do not expire. As long as we do not have tons of recordings, this looks very good.

And I uploaded it to ge.tt, they have a nice English interface, and one can either download the file or listen directly. (Free.fr is still an excellent site for temporary files or French recordings.)

Congratulations from me as well! Thanks Piotr and everyone involved!

I replaced the blog link with this nicer version
http://legamus.eu/link/Boleslaw_Prus-Widziadla
that I can keep up-to-date when the freehoster changes.

Given that it was published posthumously, I assume that IT IS important in that case. I imagine that the "death+" rule becomes "publication+" for such a piece of writing? That depends on the country. In some European countries, maybe most of them, a posthumous work which is publ...

Published (in the better version) in 1919 => that's before 1923, so it should be on LibriVox. As the author died less than 70 years ago, it is even completely impossible for Legamus. ;) This work is not in the public domain in life+70 countries, only in the US and possibly in some (former) life+50 c...

Welcome Piotrek, and thanks for reading the short story! Just tell us when there is anything not working or otherwise in your way.

Yes, at some point we need better smileys, I think... for me, particularly this one looks more suffering or sighing than smiling!

Dear Ruth, with the idea of a 64kbps file, I do not want to create any hassle or delays. If you're happy with the 128 kbps version, should we just go ahead and publish that one? If later on you give us a 64 kbps file you're happy with, we can just replace the other one or add it as another possible ...

I'd say yes! Let's take everything we can get

If Piotr does not mind, we might put it into a suitable short story collection if we have one later. (Keeping all former links working, of course.)

OK, new users should now have their "Notify me upon replies by default" checked. For a newly registered test user, it worked. Existing users still have to tick that box themselves
