[list=1][*][b]How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here[/b] <br/>To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.

[color=red]Please note that if we haven't heard from you for two months, your section(s) will automatically be re-opened for other readers.[/color] If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen.

[*][b]Where do I find the text?[/b] <br/>Source text (please only read from this text!): '''Link'''

[*][b]Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)!<br/> [i]If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.[/i][/b]

Also, please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!

[*][b]AFTER recording:[/b] <br/>[b]Need noise-cleaning?[/b]<br/>Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity (Mac/Win) has much improved noise-cleaning. See [url=http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Noise_Cleaning][u]this LibriVox wiki page[/u][/url] for a complete guide.

[b]Save files as[/b] <br/>128 kbps MP3 <br/>'''titleinoneword'''_##_'''authorsurname'''.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is your section number. (e.g. '''titleinoneword'''_01_'''authorsurname'''.mp3)

[b]ID3 V2 tags[/b] <br/>(To find out more about ID3 tags, go to our wiki: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/What_is_ID3) <br/>Add the following tags to your .mp3 file (how you do this depends on which software you use – if you are unsure about ID3 tags, send me a message). Please mind upper and lower case!

Title: '''## - [Section title]'''<br/> Artist: '''Author name'''<br/> Album: '''Book title'''

Please ignore tags for Genre and Track Number - these will be filled in automatically at the cataloguing stage.
