Hey all,
I'm putting a script request for a python script that can stream from:
http://www.librivox.com
I suspect it'll only need editing of existing scripts but I'm woefully bad at programming so can't do it myself
What this would achieve for the community is access to a HUGE and growing selection of audiobooks covering books not protected by copyright law. All material on the website is in the public domain.
The website is an excellent resource.
Also I've found that pointing windows media player at the URL of the download link it streams rather than downloads. So the script should be easily possible.
Of course we could always set up our own server to hold the files if the livrivox site proves difficult to code with (we are allowed to by the fact that all the files are public domain!)
