Hey linsky, can you do me a favor and put a line of dashes or maybe two dashes on one line so I can decipher between your quotation and your message ending? Thanks, -- Chela Robles E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynn I To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 5:55 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] O T: Results of book downloaded from Audio Owl. FYI! Thanks Chela for letting us know about the site. I downloaded a biography called Edison His Life and Inventions. Just so you know, all chapters in this book were not read by the same person. I thought the reading quality was quite good; however, one of the readers sounded as if she used a telephone or a micro cassette recorder to record her chapter. I'm not criticizing or complaining--just wanted to mention what I observed. *smile* Blessings. Lynnsky "To deny the need for and the teaching of Braille is to limit choice. It inhibits one's freedom. You can never choose to use what you have not learned." --A Lynn I original quotation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chela Robles Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 2:36 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; BlindAudibleListeners@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; BLMT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Free High Quality Audio Books at AudioOwl Free High Quality Audio Books at AudioOwl AudioOwl offers an extensive collection of high quality public domain audio books. They are helpfully organized by genre, including children and teen/young adult. You can browse by genre, or search the entire site by author, title, or key words. A selected book can be "previewed" before deciding to download it. In other words, you can listen to the reader. AudioOwl offers two download options. A book can be added to iTunes as a podcast. Or, the book can be downloaded in a zipped folder that contains an MP3 file for each chapter, for use with any MP3 player. It is worth noting that some of these files are quite large and require considerable download time. I mentioned the high quality of the audio books from AudioOwl, and it really is excellent. I previewed samples from a variety of genres, and in every instance the quality of both the reading and the recording was top notch. This should come as no surprise because AudioOwl is making use of recordings from LibriVox, where each book is read by a volunteer. Additional features of the site include audio books in multiple languages, links to other resources about the work, and a brief summary of each book. Readers/listeners are encouraged to review and rate the audio books on AudioOwl.
