Simone, do you mean that you want analog cassette tapes rather than digital media? Or is "audio tapes" a slip for "audio files"? A lot of schools (as is evident from a different thread on "user frustration with classroom media equipment) provide computers connected to projectors in every classroom or in selected classroom. This can allow the instructor to present material directly from the web. Students can then go home or to a computer lab and replay the audio or video for a more intensive listening experience. Besides Youtube and Dailymotion, there are also a lot of podcasts or streaming/cached radio shows online in various places. If what you want is audio tapes, it might be helpful if you specified the particular language(s) and level of the students.
