Podbook: Reconnection

[penumbren]

Since saphirerose1986 was incredible enough to record a podfic of my story "Reconnection," I thought I'd spiff it up with cover art and turn it into an actual podbook (with permission :).



Download it here at MegaUpload or MediaFire. (6.4Mb)

Please let me know if there are any issues: I'm trying a new program out, so this is sort of a test. :)

ETA to add the MF link, as MU is being silly.

:( Sometimes MU gets like that. I'll up it to Mediafire too, just to make it easier.

Can I ask, is a podbook just a podfic with a cover, or are there other aspects?

(Reading this comment, it sounds kind of snarky, but it's a genuine question! I just want to make sure my terminology is right.)

:) It's a podfic with embedded cover art that's in m4b audio format, so any mp3 player/program that recognizes audiobooks should pick up that this counts ad one, too. If it were long enough to have chapters, it would also have spiffy skipping forward/back by chapter capabilities. Make more sense? I probably should have put that in the original post, but I didn't think about it.

That makes sense, thanks! Is there a tutorial anywhere about how to turn an MP3 into a podbook? I'd like to try it.

podfic_tips is where I found the tips for Chapter & Verse on PCs. They have info on podficcing, podfic equipment, programs, and podbooks. amplificathon is how I found them, and they're a nice source of podbooks/podfics. They also have some helpful links, and the podfic archive that they link to has some info/tutorials too.

That's the limit of my knowledge, as no matter how much I've been tempted to try podficcing myself, I hate my voice and have never done it. LOL

That was really quick. Thanks for doing this for me. I really appreciate it. Especially since I have no clue how to do it myself.

[penumbren]

You're welcome. :) It's not really difficult; the longest part was actually finding the art for the cover. LOL podfic_tips has some really good tutorials for podficcing and how to do podbooks, etc.

Is this archived anywhere? If not, would you mind re-uploading?
