Tunisia.com provides information and assistance to people wanting to visit or live and work in Tunisia. It’s not part of the government so its owner has to pay his own bills and this is achieved via advertising as Tunisia is a very touristic country with over 5 million tourists a year.

Tunisia is an Arab country and is bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. Its area is almost 165,000 km², with an estimated population of just over 10.3 million. Its name is derived from the capital Tunis located in the north-east.

At the moment this website, based on this wonderful place in Africa, has between 30,000 - 50,000 visitors per month which is increasing steadily as content and translations are added. Given that this site is niche (just about Tunisia), they are also tied to the interest in Tunisia itself, therefore, the more people who search for Tunisia, the more visitors for this site.

Librivox.org houses an active community of volunteers that read and record books that are out of copyright and releases the audio recordings into the public domain, for free.

The quality of the recordings is generally high, but with thousands of books completed it can be hard to tell where to start if you are a listener who wants to find the best books and the best recordings. The librivox.org website is aimed primarily at the volunteers and doesn't allow any way to rate or rank the recordings.

Audio Zero allows easy searching of the audio files and also lets you bookmark, rate and comment on them in a minimal, beautiful interface. Web 2.0 goodness!

Librivox API integration

Librivox supplies a search API that returns results in an xml format, and by writing a fairly simple parser and using the form api I was able to import the books to a content type created with CCK. A cron job regularly imports the most recent new releases.

Playback and download

The audio files themselves remain on archive.org so our bandwidth is reasonable, and as well as offering a .zip download for each book we use jplayer to enable playing in-browser.
