Here's another perspective. At various times when we've worked on proposals to upgrade our lab equipment I've surveyed our faculty on this issue (though not the students). Every time I get the same response: it's not considered useful for any courses except phonetics. It's an important exception for them. In teaching those courses the faculty would not want to be without this feature. Sometimes (particularly in French phonetics) the student playback and critique of the master/student recording is an integral part of the course. In all of our phonetics courses the instructors use this function for evaluation purposes. ********************************************************************* Louise M.
