JACT Reading Greek Original Audio Recordings?

I see that audio recordings as part of the 2nd edition of the JACT Reading Greek are available on CDs here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Speaking-Greek-Audio-set-Reading/dp/0521728967/ref=sr_1_1?crid=12PND45SL0LBR&keywords=Jact+greek+audio&qid=1698595467&s=books&sprefix=jact+greek+audio%2Cstripbooks%2C76&sr=1-1

Now even at the exorbitant price for these they are useless to me – who has a CD player these days? Does anyone know where I can locate a downloadable version of these.

Slightly cheaper here: https://onlineshop.oxfam.org.uk/speaking-greek-2-audio-cd-set-reading-greek-2nd-revised-edition/product/HD_301566348?pscid=ps_ggl_OOS±+Performance+Max±+ROAS+(Music,+Films,+TV+and+Video+Games+)_&crm_event_code=20REUWWS08&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhfipBhCqARIsAH9msbkaT0pbz82mZKgqGKFPLyvz8YHcrFJHxxvIYk0MC6nQYkpo42kEb88aAtMUEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

If I didn’t have a CD player I’d beg, borrow or steal one - even buy one! I find the recordings a great help. In fact, not sure I would have persevered with the course without them.

Or borrow them from the library perhaps. I’’m not sure where in the world you are, but in Britain there are a number of libraries that hold the CDs, and if yours is not one of those, you could ask for an inter-library loan. If you join the excellent Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, membership entitles you to use the Hellenic and Roman library https://library.ics.sas.ac.uk/ They offer postal loans.

Many thanks! Yes, I’m in the UK. It’s not so much the price as the restricted format. CDs are fast becoming a niche technology.

I don’t know if you know this. But that CD can easily be converted on the computer to mp3 files. That’s how I did it. All you need is a CD drive on your PC. The audios are excellent! I highly recommend them.

Thanks, yes!
