What the the best, most comprehensive lectures on CD for 1L courses?

A friend gave me the Sum & Substance series of audio lectures and they've been kind of hit-or-miss. Arthur Miller's on Civil Procedure is the bomb (although a little dated) whereas the one on contracts is very so-so.

Are you looking to get an intro/overview of the subject, or a cross-ref source for the semester? I've seen the S&S series and thought about trying one out, but I'm skeptical regarding how helpful they are. BigM, what's your take since you've listened to a few?

Cross-ref source - kind of like complete set of recorded semester lectures if possible (4*12=60 hours or so). Thanks.

Edit: Oops, 1L courses - I'll look back to see the ones I thought were good. No one series was uniformly the best.

I've only listened to Civil Procedure in-depth, but it's a good overview of a first year civil procedure course and Arthur Miller breaks things down well. The three-ish hours of Ks I've listened to is also a good overview but he doesn't break things down as clearly as AM.

Torts I'm not sure on. The guy literally says "Prosser says this, I don't think it's so" or some variation of that every 10 minutes and it makes me skeptical/I don't give a shit about where he disagrees with Prosser, so I've only listened to <1 hour of that.
