New recordings 8-5-10

I am a student of French, so I very much appreciate your excellent web site and the service you perform.
I have used your very good recordings of FSI Basic French 1, lessons 1 to 12. But I understand your recordings of FSI Basic French 2 aren’t so good.
I have a good set of audio cassette recordings of FSI Basic French 2, lessons 13 to 24 that I am about to digitize.
I will pass along copies to you for posting on your site.
I don’t know a lot about how exactly to do this, almost all of my recording experience is with analog recording where one was mainly concerned with tape speed and watching the VU meter, if not using automatic gain control or a compressor.
So what should I use to digitize the FSI cassettes?
Sample size 8, 16, 24, 32 bits?
Sample rate 44,100 hz and up?
Is there anything else that I should know about digitizing these cassettes?
I’m eager to get started on digitizing so please let me know the answers to my questions as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Ed Auxer
