Educational Courses in Digital Format?

Posted by Cliff on from the taking-your-lecturer-with-you dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I own a portable MP3 player. Recently, my friend showed me several MP3 files he ripped that teach Japanese. I spend much of my day commuting to and from work. Using my portable player to learn new topics strikes me as a good use of that time. Can anyone recommend any educational audio files?"

    Clearly there is much educational material available on CDs.
    Why not buy and rip?

    Or what about a situation where the material is available for check out at a library? You could continue to check out the work over an incredibly long amount of time (until someone else specifically requested it on hold) OR you could illegally copy it and allow someone else the advantage of immediate access.
