Hi All, Since we have converted our language materials (all but ESL) to digital format and served them over the web, we've had all of our files in QuickTime format. Our publisher agreements were set up such that the students weren't meant to download the files, only to listen to them. However, we still would copy cassette tapes of the material for students who needed them for whatever reason. We were never in the CD burning business. However, since most students now don't have cassette tape players in their cars or homes, we don't currently have a way to provide them materials for use during their commutes or when they are away from a computer. I know that many of you post your audio files as MP3s. Do you allow the students to download these and burn their own CDs? Is that OK with the publishers? Thanks in advance for your guidance, Judi -- ________________________________________________________________ Judi Franz, Director U C Irvine Humanities Instruc.
