Did you follow my link? The only file that is yellow is for the text. The audios (as shown in speakeasy's screenshot) are blue for me and can be easily downloaded without an account or password.
Here is Lesson 1

Lesson 2

Lesson 3

Yeah, it's a little tricky to get the link to open. There is a line directly beneath the number in the box that opens the link. Once the player is open, you can save the page as an mp3. Sorry to seem a little impatient with you but the audio is right there for you to download right now. Just do it. The link I provided in the resources section is still valid.

Those are the audio files for A Basic Course in Haitian Creole (also by Albert Valdman), if you click the link for Ann Pale Kreyol it takes you to the audio for Ann Pale Kreyol, which is all in yellow. Unfortunately, the audio to the Basic Course does not match up with the dialogues and such in Ann Pale Kreyol.

I do appreciate the thought behind your suggestion though.

Sending you a PM

Ok, I've finally gotten around to uploading the audio to Ann Pale Kreyòl (the full 10 CD version!). [EDIT: Offer to share the audio had unfortunately been rescinded, as I was never able to get in touch with any copyright holders]

I did notice that a few tracks (about three) have a few clicks in them from the ripping process, but the rest are fine. Hopefully I'll be able to fix those few tracks as well.

If OOP isn't some sort of public domain licence, then I'll need to remove this post since as stated in the rules we do not allow, condone or facilitate the sharing of copyrighted content.

The acronym "OOP" in this instance means "Out Of Print".

I apologize for this. If it's against the rules, by all means, delete my post.

OOP does indeed me "Out of Print" in my above post.

Well, out of print, doesn't mean out of copyright. You might want to check with publisher or author to see if it has gone into the public domain.

Fair point.

I did attempt to reach the author, but so far I haven't received a reply. Which could have something to do with the pandemic. I'll keep trying, and see what I can figure out.

Hey everyone this is my first post on here. Had to make an account to say thank you for that incredible resource drop on the front page!
