It seems that someone who created courses of this style for Arabic, Chinese, and the like would make out quite handsomely.

The purpose of this textbook is to teach beginners to speak and understand modern Greek in a relatively short time. The method is oral/aural, and there is no translation whatsoever. The language is presented as it is spoken. Grammatical points are discussed as they are encountered, and a grammar, for reference only, has been placed at the end of the text.
Tapes for use in a language laboratory are available. The record all the dialogues and drills in the text and allow students time to repeat each phrase and to respond to the drills. Also available is a supplementary Workbook, with answer sheets, for those who wish to give more emphasis to writing or spelling.

Unsure if it was legal, but the download worked, so here we are!
LNM offers aural-oral exercises in each chapter—a necessity for Latin programs expected to comply with campus-wide language department policies. In addition, all readings from LNM Levels 1 and 2 are available for download from iPodius.

The owner of this website obviously downloaded them for free from a certain well-known website before he offered them in his shop... I'd bet any amount of money that he doesn't have the permission of the copyright holder to sell them.
I think, this would make a nice target for a DoS.
On another note, is anyone familiar with "Artes Latinae" or "Latin for the New Millenium"? The question comes up occasionally whether there are any audio-lingual methods for Latin, and I'm wondering whether these two publications might be the answer. For example, form the description of "Latin for the New Millenium":LNM offers aural-oral exercises in each chapter—a necessity for Latin programs expected to comply with campus-wide language department policies. In addition, all readings from LNM Levels 1 and 2 are available for download from iPodius.
Unfortunately, they don't offer any audio samples.
