Audio recording of German vocabulary
I find that remembering the sound of words, which almost acts like a tape recording playing in my brain, is very helpful in my remembering vocabulary words and gender. Ideally, I would like to play a list of vocabulary words on continual loop while doing other things. That being said, does anybody know of recordings that are clear and include gender. I looked on Itunes, but did not see anything.

There are two mp3 downloads at the bottom, one in EN + GE, each sentence spoken in EN first, then twice in German, the other GE only.
I would rather download the mp3 to use it with my usual media player than using the app (Android), because the app did only play one chapter at a time when I last checked. The app has some other useful features...
Hello. Are you a linux user? If so you can use a voice synthesizer software like Festival and MBROLA type voice files, whose quality is very good. Then you prepare a text file of the words you want to read, feed it to the Festival synthesizer and have the output written to a sound file, which you can play in a loop.
On the subject of audio recordings, I found a very cool program at http://people.ds.cam.ac.uk/ssb22/gradint/ that lets you make a pimsleur like program with your own vocabulary words. Unfortunately, the directions are cryptic and I have yet to figure out how to make it work properly. Someone more computer savvy might have more luck.
