Lady Chatterley's Lover Free Audio Book :: in One Player



Here's what I hope will prove to be the entirety of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence in Blip.TV's show player.

Fingers crossed.

Feedcycle - the startup I used to use to feed subscribers one chapter a week - has died and gone to startup heaven.

Pity.

Looking for new ways to present the work.

I've put it some places in the public domain, as it is here.

POST NOTE: Rats, the player's not outputting the files in order. Sorry about that. Back to the drawing board. The iTunes RSS feed above will bring all the chapters into iTunes and IN ORDER, so there's that....

POST-POST NOTE: The good folks @ Blip.TV walked me through a code change that brings you express goodness in RSS feeding and single-player access to all the chapters, in order. Thanks again, Blip.

What Next?

Help me out, here.

It took hundreds of hours to record "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and I'm loathe to begin another such enormous project without something good coming of it.

Have any of you at least donated to Project Gutenberg on my behalf?

Sent me a 'tip' via PayPal @ jannie.jan@gmail.com?

Been good to your mother?

Levelator Note :: We Love Great Customer Service

Had a nice note from Bruce Sharpe regarding an earlier post on Levelator and its java-based audio levels adjustments machine.

Hi,

Sorry to hear you didn't get the results you wanted from The Levelator. We're working on a new version which (among other things) greatly improves the "breathing" issue that you mention.

Would you be able to provide me with the audio file you used, pre-Levelator and pre-MP3 encoding? I can test it and see if the new version is indeed better. Samples like this have been a great help in improving the algorithm.

Thanks!
Sent Bruce an excerpt of the original wav file and expect to hear from him soon.

Now that's customer service. Bruce must have seen the link back to Levelator and made the time to make contact. Sweet. Thanks, Bruce. Can't wait to test the new version of Levelator.

Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence - Chapter 17

Scandal.

Mellors' estranged wife Bertha returns to find herself unwelcome in Mellors' cottage, where there's evidence of another woman. In a fury, Bertha publicly announces who she think's been sleeping in her bed.

Gossipy letters to and from Wragby and Venice abound.

Listen to the mp3 HERE.
