Written by James Hilton Read by Michael de Morgan (MODIFIED to compress silences.) Format: MP3 Bitrate: 64 Kbps Unabridged, The reader speaks well, but used long pauses frequently. I modified the original recording to compress the silences substantially. This shortened the recording by about 40 minutes. There are still enough pauses and the reading sounds more normal to my ear. Now..the.audio..hasnolong..pauses., Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins (was 8 hrs and 26 mins) Release date: 12-20-10 Publisher: RNIB Talking Books, The source for this came from jodindys upload from 2021. You can find that original including the long pauses here: https://audiobookbay.is/abss/lost-horizon-1933-james-hilton/, I tweaked the audio using Audacity compress silences but I do not remember the setting parameter now.
