    Posted: 05 March 2007 at 4:31pm

I am interested in listening to the FSI audio tracks on a CD player while driving to and from work.  What is the best method of recording the mp3 files which are on this web site to a CD.  I do have access to Sound Forge, though I am not very familiar with the program.  Many thanks!

The simplest way would probably be to use iTunes, and just burn a "Music CD." 

If you don't like that idea, google for MP3 --> WAV converters, and convert the MP3's to WAV, and burn an audio CD with Nero or something.

You can use Windows Media Player or iTunes to do it. Very easy. Make a playlist and click burn as music cd. Actually a little more complicated, but there is a help options.

... a little more complicated.

Yeah, just a little.

Step one - I double-click on Tape 1.1 in German Basic Course - Volume 1 and the audio starts playing in my browser (the whole lesson plays fine in the browser, but of course we want cd's). I wait for the progress bar to show that the file is fully loaded, then I go to File-Save As in my browser and save the file to my desktop. An icon appears with the file name. BUT when I look at Get Info, it shows the file size as only 4k. Obviously this can't be right. So, what's the problem?

Right click the file link and choose 'save link as' or 'save file' etc (depending on which browser you use) from the right click menu.

Or:

Use a download manager like flashget which I use.
Once installed, right click anywhere on the page and choose 'download all with Flashget' or 'Flashgot all' (depending on which browser you use). Then you can select all *.mp3 & *.pdf files to download & get all 57 files for FSI German Basic 1.

Well, after waiting two hours for an appointment at the "Genius Bar" it took them ten seconds to tell me I needed to OPTION-click the link. From there the CD burning was easy.

From long experience, it's incredibly hard to troubleshoot a desktop problem from long distance without seeing the issue.  I'm glad that you had the patience for "Genius Bar" (I assume that's some sort of help desk business similar to our local "Geek Squad") and could get your problem solved.
