------------------
Just adding to the *YES, WE NEED THIS!* We, too, are making a major move
to provide access to digital files for all the materials publishers will
allow us to digitize. Some are problematic. For example, we use Parliamo
Italiano and there is no audio-CD for this title. I know it is often
necessary to further break down sections to facilitate working with
exercises, etc. But this is an entire 30-min.file (x 12 chapters or
units!) that I will have to edit. Very labor intensive! I'm looking
forward to seeing how we can collaborate on this. Thank you!
