I'm a step closer--but not close enough yet--to having the audio files from my Radio Readers readings at WVTF into a form I can use. Some technical difficulties still remain, most of them no doubt, mine, though the first CDs I brought home from the station failed due to glitches at their end.
I did get the name of a contact person at the station to talk to about getting the 7 hours of reading of Slow Road Home into an audiobook, and I'll give him a call at the appointed time.
Meanwhile, the cda file on the CD from the station ripped to wma on my hard drive, but opened in Audacity, the twelve-minute segment shows as an 11 mb file that is compressed into about 4 seconds. That's weird. I'll figure it out, eventually.
Meanwhile, thanks to Floyd Countian Lee Chichester, four audio essays can be heard from a single link on her growing audio-collection of local voices, The Rest Of Us Media Project. Check back often as her site grows to say more and more about us, and from those of us who live, create and enjoy community in these hills.
