Cook Brownies In Cookie Cutters

Again, with audio books ...

Despite the large cost of digitization of the audio collections, including the audio books, despite the problems with access to hardware and software, it seems necessary to rescue the first sound recordings even in order to save the Polish cultural heritage. Although work on the digitization of printed resources are going pretty well - evidenced by the efficient cooperation of regional digital libraries - but its completion is still a long way to go. Much worse is the digitalization of library music collections. So far, only saved recordings stored on rolls record. Therefore, several questions arise: What

with several thousands of records, which arose before World War II in the Polish record labels?

What about the thousands of audio books to blind and visually impaired can still borrow at libraries that provide this type of collection (the first such publication founded in the early sixties)? Although

Polish Radio Archives is working on the digitalization of sound of its own resources, but because of the very large number of professionals in this task, the process will be lengthy. In addition, Polish Radio will not be able zdygitalizować Polish audio resources in a holistic manner. Is impeded because of their considerable fragmentation and probably also the total destruction of some of them. As long as everyone interested in the Polish Radio zdygitalizowanymi collections must go to him personally, and yet the world goes out of their collections to the Internet users in the network can also be found in American drama presented the radio in the fifties and recorded music and movie longer belong in the public domain. Poland compared to wzmiankowanymi above the state and private initiatives falls very pale. Only the so-called. Internet pirates still share their collections, including audio books.

After analyzing the audio book titles that circulate in the circulation of illegal kind, quite important is the ascertainment that some of them (111 titles) is already in the public domain and as such, they can quite quickly disappear from this circuit. The fact that the publisher decided to hire a teacher and re-enter the title on the market, should not be a problem in its free circulation, if found, a group of volunteers who are willing to follow the example of the setting up of enthusiasts LibriVox.
