We are using Sony Virtuoso (http://www.sansinc.com/), which does  
everything our old audio tape system did ... plus some nice digital  
bells and whistles.  One of the main reasons we chose this option  
(rather than Divace or Tandberg or any of the others) was to make a  
smooth transition for those instructors who were used to the old  
system while opening up the new possibilities of digital delivery to  
a wider audience.  So far we are succeeding in both goals. There is a  
higher price to be paid for a turnkey system, but if you want to keep  
the grouping/pairing, monitoring, teacher-student interaction of the  
old analog lab, this is the way to go in my opinion.
