Well well, unfortunately there is no Arabic FSI audio course here. Are they copyrighted ?

No, they are not copyrighted; we just haven't gotten them digitized yet. All of the FSI courses are not yet available here, but I hope to have them all posted one day.
I have the Saudi Arabic Urban Hijazi dialect materials, but I have not yet digitized them. I am working on completing French and Chinese first. I will get to them soon!

Sorry. I think I said mid-October in my original message (to do Saudi Arabic Urban Hijazi) and didn't meet that deadline. I just finished scanning the Saudi Arabic text, so hopefully you'll see it up soon.

I have the whole Arabic Hijazi in mp3 format (encoded from my original audio CDs). But they'll take about 400MBs in 64 kbit/sec...

Send a PM to gdfellows to make sure that the CDs that you got did not come from a 3rd party reseller such as Multilingual Books, LanguageInnovations, learn-how-to-speak.com or Audio Forum among others.
We've been digitalizing stuff that comes straight from NTIS or original government stuff that is borrowed from libraries or bought at yard sales.
Incidentally, we've been digitalizing audio for some time now as 32kb/sec. in mono. It seems to sound fine. Some of the earlier MP3s were done at 64kb/sec. in mono but after finding no audible difference between speech at 32kb and 64kb, we started switching to 32kb to save space.

Really? That's interesting.
NTIS (the official distributor for anything related to the American government including FSI) only sells the old language courses with tapes.

Well, I ordered them directly here:

That explains it.
As much as those guys have the right name, there's a disclaimer on their website at this link:
