Lloyd Alexander - Complete Prydain Audiobooks - Fixed Chapterized and Tagged-CL8

-------------Complete Prydain Audiobooks-------------

Another favorite from childhood, I present the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. Yes, there are many similarities to Tolkien, but that's because both were inspired by many of the same Welsh legends. Alexander's tales are considerably closer to the original legends. These tales are beautifully imaginative and very influential. The character Eilonwy, for instance, is strikingly similar to Rowling's Hermione. I have processed all these unabridged books in the following ways:



1. I did not rip these. Rather I collected the highest-quality versions available and processed them my way. :)



2. Equalized volume. Several of these audio books had volume discontinuities. I have equalized volumes so there shouldn't be any sudden jumps.



3. Dehissed and noise-cleaned. When needed, I performed low pass filters and deleted pops in the audio.



4. FULLY CHAPTERIZED. This took a several days. Each audio book was compiled into a single file (deleting bits like "end of side one, please turn over this cassette") and then separated into Parts and Chapters as defined by the original books. I find this to be the best way to enjoy audiobooks and it is perfect for iPods.



5. Encoded all books to a uniform MP3 96kbps 44.1kHz.



6. ID3 Tagged. All audio book files have been fully ID3 tagged including full COVER ART.



As with my Rowling release, I have decided to release both the Library of Congress version read by George Holmes and the Listening Library version read by James Langton. I have found that both versions are quite good and considerably different, so I have taken the time to process both. I highly recommend checking out both versions. :)



Please leave any comments or questions -- as always all compliments and suggestions are HIGHLY APPRECIATED. If you like you may also email me at richard.fannon@gmail.com.



Enjoy!
