>Has anyone found a replacement for Spanish Pronounciation Tutor (SPT)?

I have been looking for a replacement ever since they discontinued 
"Practice Makes Perfect" which was a combination of the Pronunciation Tutor 
and their vocabulary program. The German version still exists as part of 
"Foreign Language Advantage 2001" (while supplies last - it too has been 
discontinued) and there are other pronunciation programs on the market for 
both German and French, but the only one for Spanish I have found has been 
within  "Tell Me More Spanish Pro" by Auralog. While it has a LOT more than 
just pronunciation and therefore is a lot more costly, it does have a good 
emphasis on pronunciation with version 5 adding good phonetics exercises 
when students mispronounce a word, helping them zero in on what they did wrong.
