read about alleged poor sound quality of some tapes.
I guess those chaps did their best to make it available to everyone for free, but maybe they were not sound engineers, just holding some valuable material already altered in some ways.
now, you can make a comparison by downloading the global file for FSI Korean on this equally free website, with recently more ads. they never had ads before.
here is the adress of the website :
http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/ - http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/
formerly, just had to click on Korean, today, do not forget to click on upper button downloads, sends you right to FSI 'language' downloads page
http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/direct-downloads/ - http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/direct-downloads/
the Korean file is there if you want to download :
http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/korean/korean-language-courses-59/ - http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/korean/korean-language-courses-59/
you have 3 items
the pauker (German familiar word for teacher) ==> 3 MB
http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/download/pauker-1.7.3.exe - http://www.freelanguagecourses.com/download/pauker-1.7.3.exe
the FSI course itself (korean basic 320 MO)

some links (never used them myself)
Although hunting for those precious files (freelanguage methods, since year 2003 or 4), (secured on my HDD), never had time to compare both series of tapes : you'll have to do the job all by yourself.
would be pleased to know if there is any difference.
the same could apply to arabic where some tapes (2 at least) are missing.
