Everything is correct. Keep in mind that "Freut mich" is short for "Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen", which is kind of formal.
Your audio recording:
X = English [ɛks], German [ɪks] (with German "i")
Ich = "ch" (after a "light" vowel) is [ç], http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_palatal_fricative has audio. It's like English "sh" or German "sch", but the tip of the tongue is closer to the lower teeth and slighly curled. If you cannot pronounce it, use English "sh" instead. That will sound funny, but will be understood by native speakers.
Freut = The final "t" needs to be more audible
auch = "au" is pronounced by saying German "a" und "u" (English "oo") very quickly. Your final "u" is not audible, it's more like "aahh". "ch" here is not [ç], but [x] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_velar_fricative), because there's a "dark" vowel (a, o, u) in front of it. If you cannot pronounce it, use "k" instead.
Danke = Final e is [ɘ] (semewhere between German "e" and German "ö"), and not "a". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-central_vowel has audio, but of a long version of the vowel, so maybe it's not a good model. In German, it's always very short.
Nein = The final "n" needs to be more audible
Try to find some audio by native speakers (movies etc.) to get a feeling for the pronounciation.
