You'll find the code for reproducing it in the files.


Untar the audio files (`tar xvf bg3.tar.gz`)

The metadata looks like this usually;
```json
{
  "name": "v4316b95f66244601bcebbdddb8e0ba62_h0ad754d9gc97eg4fe9g9ae3gc0c2a2b3668c.wem.wav",
  "text": "A table somewhere. For one.",
  "spk_id": "v4316b95f66244601bcebbdddb8e0ba62",
  "is_effect": false,
  "samplerate": 48000,
  "duration": 2.7868958333333333,
  "n_channels": 1
}
```
but might also have those.
```json
