Some lab "tapes" come optionally on CD's now, such as those for Claro que si! (H&H, 5 CD's) and Interaction 5è (1 CD?). Those are easiest to digitize. Digitizing tape is easy too, but more time-consuming since you have to split the segments of tape manually and maybe clean up the sound a bit (such as normalizing the sound). I wrote down the steps I followed to digitize tapes and CD's at my web site: http://www.salem.mass.edu/~jaske/langtech.htm#sound_digitizing Good luck, Jon ___________________________________________ Jon Aske Assistant Professor, Department of Foreign Languages Salem State College, Salem, Massachusetts SB 209A, Phone: (978) 542-4358, Fax: (978) 542-7215 mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.salem.mass.edu/~jaske/ ___________________________________________ The first rule to tinkering is to save all the parts. --Paul Erlich > -----Original Message----- > From: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum > [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of LLTI-Editor > Sent: August 02, 1999 4:36 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: #5127 digitized audio cassettes > > > --- Forwarded Message from Beth Ohmer <[log in to unmask]> --- > > >Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 11:00:55 -0700 (PDT) > >From: Beth Ohmer <[log in to unmask]> > >To: [log in to unmask] > >Subject: digitized audio cassettes > > After talking with several people and attending Otmar's presentation at > IALL in Maryland I was inspired to investigate the possibility of > digitizing textbook publisher's "lab tapes" to try to reduce the volume of > tapes we copy. > > I've determined that we have file server space and that the campus > intranet can handle it.
