AccompanyTextbooks/Workbooks?
Let me address your first question: "Why would instructors want to
spend their valuable time rerecording something that already exists
to the state of the art?"
The reason is that supposedly "state of the art" commercial
recordings are often far from satisfactory in quality of reading,
length of pauses, or for other reasons. Re-recording is something I
have done (or found funds for others to do) on several occasions.
Back in the time of cassettes, it often seemed that publishers were
trying try to fit as much recording as possible into as little time
as possible, which would result in unnaturally (ridiculously) fast
recording followed by pauses that were frustratingly (to the
students) too short.
And yes, since the new recordings would go into our collection, I
asked permission from the publisher, and they often restricted usage
to "Lab only." Same caution (password protection at least) must be
exercised with the newer methods available for recording,.
