German Basic Course, audio files truncated

I've noticed that the audio files for Volume 1, Tape 1.1 and Tape 1.2 appear to be incomplete.

Tape 1.1 : the "Basic Sentences, Listening Comprehension" section at the end of the audio seems incomplete. It doesn't include any of the sentences on page 6 of the Student Text, and doesn't include the last word on page 5.

Tape 1.2 : the audio stops before the Substituion Drill 8.e (page 13 of the Student Text) is completed. The last few items in the drill are missing.

Is there any way to get the complete audio for these? I'm trying to create an Anki deck that includes all of the audio for easier review of the material.

Thanks,

--Matt

A few possibilities:

1 - Check out the samples at Multilingual Books http://www.multilingualbooks.com/fsi-sampler.html
If the sound quality is better, consider buying the mp3 course for $49.

2. Check your local library for a copy. If no local copy is available, check if your library can get a copy. http://www.worldcat.org/

3. If there are any native German users of this site, maybe someone would be available to record any missing parts of the course. I'm told the speaker on the tape does not have a very good accent.
