------------------

Hello fellow LLTI'ers,
  I've searched the archives for help on this, but did not
  find anything. Perhaps one of you has experience with
  music CDs in your language facility.
--- Excerpt:
A colleague in the Department of French and Spanish 
has inquired about the possibility of setting up a system
whereby students could listen to French music in the audio
language lab (or computer centre) as an added activity
when they tire of regular grammar and speaking exercises.
Has anyone out there made music CDs available to
students? If yes, 1. did you have students
sign out the CD they wanted and return it when finished, or did you

  purchase a jukebox?  2. What sorts of activities did you use to maximize the   listening activity (comprehension questions, grammar or dictation exercises,     pastiche writing, sing along for pronunciation)?
--- Excerpt:
3. How did you handle copyright issues
associated with broadcasting music to multiple student
stations? 4. Were you able to use materials instructors have
in their private collections?

--- end of excerpt
Many thanks for your ideas!
Best regards,
   Karin
