Are these of the same sound quality as those in the media files or have they been touched up?

It’d be great to see a volume two that included clearer versions of Murray’s James Mill and Chicago vs. Austrian lectures

The mp3 audio files on this MP3 CD have been “touched up.” We found the best copies of the lecture audio we could, then edited them and rendered new MP3 files.

Let me add that these are the clearest Rothbard audio files I’ve heard. Chad did a splendid job.

It’s significantly out of my price range, and I already value the ideas which presumably are presented. I can’t imagine anyone who didn’t greatly value the ideas of Rothbard ever spending $40 on this.

Is there any chance that the arrangement of lectures (presuming they are already available on this site) could be presented in their lower quality form for a lower price?

This is the second post on this point of price, so it deserves an answer. Note that there are 400+ hours of media files on the site at no charge. We put this CD together for those who don’t want to spend their time surfing and burning (though for those who want to, great!). Also, I can say that this is a wonderful product: 10 hours of lectures nicely organized in a full classroom format and presented in an outstanding package. The $40 price doesn’t even begin to recoup costs, direct or indirect (to say nothing of the costs of managing very high download bandwidth), but since Austrians don’t do cost-plus pricing in any case, let me also add that sales are going very well, which is great.

I would buy it if it weren’t $40 (still a college student. . .which means I don’t have a lot of money but plenty of time to surf mises.org and burn files to CDs). Nevertheless, I’m always glad every time mises.org puts a new product on their website. Anything to advance free-market thinking is a solid move, in my book.
