Not exactly, since an audiotape can be erased and re-used but a CD is
(probably) forever. I guess you could do it by having the students trade in
the CD for ch. 1 for Ch. 2, and then storing the ch. 1 copies for next
term. I know lots of places have been burning CDs for a while, though, so
there will be more informative answers.
For most of the courses what we have done is put the audio online. This is
of course a special expense (for the server)--which I suppose is why the
publishing companies are happy to have us do it. We copy the cassettes for
those who have trouble accessing the online audio and can't spare the time
to work in the lab.
A couple of the courses here at UF have just ordered the audio CDs with the
books and the students buy them. This was less practical with
audiocassettes since they are harder to produce and bulky to bundle. I
think it has seemed cost-effective to the instructors. For these courses
the lab is just a backup (sometimes needed though when CDs are lost or late
in coming at the beginning of the term).
