about this site

YOU ARE MADE OF WIN. \o/

Oh, this is beautiful!!! It looks great, and the organization is VERY IMPRESSIVE.

::is awed::

:)

This is so *cool*. It must have taken you ages to do and I love that the archive is searchable now. Fantastic:)

You sneaky woman! I had to find the site by accident!

It is too lovely!

This site is awesomesauce with a side of WIN. This is seriously GREAT! Thank you for all of your hard work! This is fantastic.

This is *amazing*. Well done!

WOW. I had no idea. This is amazing-- layovers will never be the same again! HEARTS.

Man, I knew you were an indexer extrordinaire, but this is insane! I love it. *sniff* My little girl is growing up and isn't just for me anymore. *brave look. wibble*

Seriously - incredible work. You rock like a big rocking thing.

you still love me best, though. right?

OMG, how cool is this! Didn't know Fanfic Audiobooks existed en masse like that! Wow. Amazing tagging-work, too.

Ho. Ly. Crap.

::is awed::

...I had absolutely no idea that fandom held such things, let alone a whole archive of them.

Dude. You win at LIFE.

...how does a person get involved in recording things? Because I would SO be up for that. Do people just sort it out on an informal basis, either their own stuff or someone else's, and then...how does this work?

response from jinjurly: there are a few pointers here, but mostly you just get the author's permission and go for it, the rest is technical detail. :)

Fay: I'd guess if you wanted to record someone else's work, you could just send them an email asking if it's okay with them.

As for your own stuff, well, you can do just about anything you want with it. =) Have fun~!

Hey-

I came here from Speranza's site, and was thrilled to find some of my favorite fics here!. I have one technical question. The audiobooks download as mpeg-4 audio file (protected) and then won't load into iTunes, when I drag and drop them. Am I doing something wrong? I'm new to the format.

Jean

response from jinjurly: problem solved. :)

Wow. Color me VERY impressed. All of the tagging must have taken you an age. We need to get some sort of award over here or something...

Can I just say, you guys are made of awesome for organizing this. Before I found this I had to scour like 6 different places to find new fics, now its one click away. Yay! Love you, and thanks.

I've only just discovered the wonderful world of podfic, and this site is a gold mine! It's laid out exactly as I'd have asked for, very easy to get what I'm after. Yey!

Thank you so much for hosting.

This archive is AMAZING. I've been downloading and listening to podfic for days and days now and greatly enjoying myself because of it. This is why fandom is freaking incredible. The huge amount of work it must be is much appreciated. Thank you so much for putting this together and hosting it!!!!

Hi, thanks so much for all your hard work on this - it is so amazing!

I've been having problems downloading a few podbooks for the last few days (How Ray Got His Groove Back, Whisper, and Gun with Occasional Kangaroo, to be specific) the winrar archive downloads but then it says it is empty. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? Any idea what I can do to fix it?

Thanks again,
Tess

response from jinjurly: the files in question had just been updated, and something went horribly wrong! all fixed now. :)

Oh my Fandoms! Thank you so much for this, guys!

For writing & recording & organizing & hosting.

This is absolutely wonderful :)

i like to post & click comments ONLY TO SKEW YOUR STATISTICS.

i will maybe download one! or two! are you in here? MYSTERY.

Just a note to say THANK YOU so much for hosting all of these! I've gone nuts tonight downloading and I am so appreciative to have fic to listen to while I walk. :)

What a wonderful resource you've created for us! Thanks! I know it's a big commitment of time and energy.

I've got only one request--the m4b and any other iPod/iTune-specific file type makes it awfully difficult for those of us downloading for plain old mp3 players (I have a sandisk sansa I use while exercising, and love to listen to podfic while walking away miles.) I've purchased Tunebite to strip and convert such files to plain mp3s, but I know others don't have the time or money to get it. I'd like to request for future creators that they make an mp3 along with any fancier, more restricted file type they might choose. Us plain folks would greatly appreciate it.

reply from jinjurly: as stated above, all files are in mp3 format. some are also available as m4a or m4b files. i don't archive anything that isn't available as mp3, for the very reason - accessibility - that you point out. please let me know if there's a file you can't find as an mp3! i'll point you at it. :)

Thanks for creating this! I didn't realize anyone had started compiling podfics and I'm completely jazzed!

I love this site so much! You've done an amazing job compiling all the recordings and it's great to have a central place with permanent links to find podfic. Thank you very much for this site <3

Thank you so much for hosting all these lovely audio stories. Being able to put these on my iPod and listen to them at work makes my very boring job with very nasty co-workers a lot less awful.

I really appreciate all the work you guys have done. I've been listening to podfic while doing some incredibly boring filing at work, and while I walk or do housework.

All of you guys, the authors, the organizers, the readers are winsome -- full of win and awesome.

Laurie

Absolutely bloody fantastic. Audio-fics...great idea.

But you should really rate the fics.

But anyway, cool site.

reply from jinjurly: ratings are the purview of the authors, and, if they have chosen to use ratings, they can be found via the text link to their stories. if you don't find them that way, you could certainly contact them for guidance using the comment to the author link. :)

Thanks for the fantastic work you're doing on this archive, and thank you so much for hosting these podfics. Everything's so organized and so easy to navigate.

What an amazing resource! Thank you both for hosting and for providing so many different ways of sorting through them all.

At first I didn't think there was a really spiffy-decent audiofic/podfic archive on the net. I was on the verge of having an attempt at creating one myself. Then I stumble across you.

You lovely fluffy little bundle of gorgeousness, you!

Thanks for what must have been incredibly hard work.

This is the best thing ever. I can't thank you enough!

You are the best! I love listening to fic while I rip source for my vids! It's like fannish heaven.

Love this site, yowzers!

I just discovered this lovely site this past week, and I have to say Thank You! I don't have much time for reading lately, so being able to *listen* to fics while at work is great, not to mention that it makes my workday a lot more fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is a great site thanks.

Any way i can just find longer fic though. i need at least an hour for running..

This is an awesome idea!

This is the first time I've heard of a podfic, and it is the most amazing thing in existence. My life just improved by one million points.
Seriously, this is my new favorite site.
THANK YOU FOR BEING MADE OF AWESOME.

(unable to speak. too busy jumping up and down.) Oh, delight!

Omg, thank you so much!!! This site is AMAZING. *Such* a great idea. wow. love! :)

Can I make one suggestion? Can you standardize the "Stargate" entries--put a colon in "stargate sg1 rpf" so it matches "stargate: atlantis" and "stargate: sg1"? The SG1 entries will sort together that way in the list.

Thanks for compiling this!

reply from jinjurly: actually, the colon in sg1 was a typo! it's all fixed now. :)

Oh thankyou so much for doing this! I'm about to go travelling and will be spending hours and hours and *hours* on planes. Imagine how terrible it could have been... But now, thanks to this, I shall be merrily winging my way around the world with my ipod strapped to my head, happy happy smiley faced with the fanfic.
Thankyou again. You utterly win.

Wow. Looks like it's time for me to move into the 21st century and get an mp3 player. I just *knew* that getting broadband would be only the first step.

Thank you a lot: this site is a resource that makes me so very gleeful! (I can't imagine that the bandwidth is free, though--do you have a donation button I've missed?)

Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you.

I'm having a hard time expressing how wonderful this resource is.

I hope "thank you" sends the message *g*.

Thank you so much for this site!!

thank you for this. you are teh awesome. :x

What a fabulous archive! I'm enjoying these a lot!

Is this still being added to?

reply from jinjurly: it is! i add a few things every couple of days, at least. :)

Thank you so much for making podfics available so easily. Listening to these stories makes my commute go faster.

One question - is there a way to search the site for recently added material? Just when I think I've got everything from my favourite fandoms, I run across something else; I'd love to be able to check back every so often and look at a list of new items.

reply from jinjurly: probably the best way to see new items is to browse by the file|mp3 category. that gives you the very newest entry at the top of the page, as long as it's an mp3. this will give you m4b files. you can also get an rss feed of either of those tags, or of the whole site, from the sitemap

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This site is wonderful. There is so much on it. Many thanks to authors, readers and those who host and maintain the site.

Here to download some of my lost podbooks. :( I love the way you've streamlined the search criteria. Much nicer.

Do you realize that suddenly all the comments are dated Jan 1, 1970? I'm not sure if that makes us ahead of our time or not. :)

I love the new layout of the site! It is a lot easier to navigate now and I really like the new feature for file length.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this archive.
