Very cool, I'm listening on Chrome and it seems to work just fine! Thank you βαθμιαίος

[reeay]

Works beautifully on Safari. Thank you!

[Horuseus]

Works fine as expected on Chrome 27.0.1448.0 dev-m, IE 10.0.9200 and iPad Safari 7534.48.3. Good job.

Slight issue with Firefox 19.0.2. Clicking the 'play' the first time (any play link) evokes a dialog asking to save the MP3. Choosing either 'Ok' or 'Cancel' does not seem to affect the next time and it plays inline just fine thereafter.

Edit: A Q if I may. Are these files being cached? Also a suggestion should it be feasible would be to 'separate' the Questioner and 'Response' play links, or perhaps a way to skip directly to the Response section.

Works on Firefox in Ubuntu Linux.

These recordings really show how much work went into this.

[Aureus]

Works fine on android 4.0 os.

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words!

No, they're not being cached on the server. How would that work? These are fairly large files -- the largest is 12 MB. (128 bit encoding).

Re: separating questions and answers: I'm not sure. I tend to think of them as belonging together, because Ra's responses were so carefully geared to answering and elaborating on exactly what Don asked.

I completely agree. They really make it real, especially when you hear Carla come back into her body at the end.

Working perfectly on Chrome Version 25.0.1364.172 on Windows 7.

For Q49.2, Don said "visions and voices", but "voices and visions" is written.

Good catch. That's another reason I want to do this -- many ears will, I hope, help make the transcripts more accurate. That particular change is in the relistened version (see http://www.lawofone.info/show-diff.php?s=49&dv=r-e ) but I haven't gotten up to 49 in the "light editing" process.

I keep wondering how audio time scaling (i.e. phase vocoder) might make the responses less labored or tedious.

This is a feature that should be built into the HTML5 standard. I wonder if it is.

[Ankh]

Works beautifully on iPhone too.

Thank you for all this, βαθμιαίος!

[Bring4th_Austin]

Works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S3, both with the default internet app as well as the Chrome app.

[Arda]

Works fine on Samsung Galaxy S1 with Opera mini Browser! Well done!

Don't see anything about time compression/expansion.

Carla generally spoke approximately 3X slower than normal during these sessions. However, the pronunciation speed and pauses between words actually varies enough such that scaling more than a 2X reduced tempo would start compromising intelligibility. However, you could probably combine silence trimming with 2X tempo reduction, and it would sound normal.

OK, it's live and two more sessions added:

Thanks, Michelle, for the help with timestamping!
