The time you spend trying to find free stuff could be better used on the premium features of certain websites or pay-for CD's. What was not mentioned in your steps was podcasting. This new form of learning is extremely flexible, fun and, if used properly, very effective. If you search your iTunes educational podcast section, you will come across a number of good podcasting companies - including www.SpanishPod.com, SpanishPod101 and so on. Definitely a good alternative to CD's, as you can listen for free and then pay for the extra tools if you are serious about studying and really reinforcing what you have listened to.
