I recently bought Assimil German with Ease (1987 edition), but accidentally bought cassettes rather than CDs (oops!). I would like to put the tracks onto my iPod, so I downloaded the audio tracks from a website (I think this is legal if I have bought the product - I hope I am right!)
However, lessons 22 - 26 and lesson 100 are missing from the download for some reason.
It would be REALLY helpful for me if anyone could send me the audio for these lessons (preferably in a format compatible with iTunes so I can put them on my iPod).
PM me if this is possible. I would be ver grateful.
Thanks very much!
Sam

You could always digitize your cassettes.

How would I do this? I'm not very experienced with programmes such as Audacity, so I need step-by-step instructions :)
Thanks very much!

I'm sure that there are easier and less time-consuming methods but I don't know any better so this is the way I do it:
1. Download and install Audacity.
2. Connect the output of your tape player (the headphones jack) to the audio input of your computer (where a microphone would go).
3. Press "play" on your cassette deck and start recording in Audacity.
4. When side A has finished, edit the file (if you want to) and export it as an mp3.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other side and for the rest of your tapes.
I'm not very good with computers but just a bit of playing around and trying different things can be quite "fun".
If my memory is correct, there's a better explanation than this but it's in a rather old post (not mine). Try a forum search for "Audacity" and check the 2005 or 2006 posts.
