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.

[b]Need noise-cleaning?[/b]
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://librivox.org/wiki/moin.cgi/NoiseCleaning][u]this LibriVox wiki page[/u][/url] for a complete guide.

(To find out more about ID3 tags, go to our wiki: http://librivox.org/wiki/moin.cgi/WhatIsID3)
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]
Artist: Author name
Album: Book title
 
Please ignore tags for Genre and Track Number - these will be filled in automatically at the cataloguing stage.
