I think the tape that Cathy references is the Peterson "Birding by Ear" and
"More Birding by Ear".

I'm interested in purchasing Bird Song Identification CD's. Which one's do
you recommend for a beginning birder. Seems I have heard that Peterson's and
Stokes both are good. Also, if you have one, where did you get it?
I have both CD's (purchased at local Wild Bird Unlimited) I've use the
Stokes more recently because you can go directly to a single bird's song
rather
than a "class" of birds. Petersons groups similar birds together and, for
example, you have to listen to all the wrens and kinglets before getting to
the
gnatcatchers.
It seems to me I had a tape early on that not only had birds group together
but actually had someone talking about the quality of the songs and hints
about what to listen for. Unfortunately, I can't remember who made it. Most of
my tapes are packed away somewhere, but if no one else remembers this and the
name, I'll try to find it.
