LibriVox Reviews 7

There have been too many really,really bad narrators lately. I don’t mind if a reader is merely pretty bad, but been running into too many that are really grating. Even if a book starts out with decent narrators bad ones can come in and do lots of chapters. Too bad, because if they just had a minimum bar of standards it could work. I’m going to look for a computer voice that reads.

I have used and enjoyed Librivox for several years. However, when I opened it tonight, I found that the controls had all changed, and had become terrible for me. I often want to re-listen to a chapter - perhaps I fell asleep or was interrupted. Yesterday's controls worked well for me. The new ones may chase me away.

I've been so attached to librivox during the past year, and very grateful to it and its volunteer readers. But this week I've found ads all over the screen, and ads that have sudden blasting voices. I can't get an answer from Librivox. I'd pay for the service but there's been no announcement about this huge change. It's been their policy to have no ads ever.

Thanks to Trustpilot I heard from Librivox. Librivox does not have ads. But by its nature everyone can use their audio books and apps have been created-- just taking them over. There is such an app also called Librivox. I don't know how but I must have clicked on it-- how? Don't know, but I'm so glad there are NO ADS at Librivox and I thank them again.

A fantastic resource. I like listening to short story collections when doing computer work.

I really enjoy listening to audiobooks before sleeping.

That's one of my fav audio books sources. A very extensive collection I should say. Thumbs up guys!
