1. A device configured to operate upon a server and to record multiple channels of incoming data, the device comprising:
- distribution logic operable to receive information from a plurality of sources, the plurality of sources producing a plurality of data streams, the distribution logic being configured to distribute the plurality of data streams to a plurality of workstations having addresses, the distribution logic using the addresses to distribute the data streams; and
recording logic configured to reproduce the plurality of data streams, the recording logic being configured to transmit the plurality of data streams along with identification fields comprising the recipient workstation addresses and source addresses of the data streams for storage in a storage device;
wherein the stored data streams are retrieved from the storage device through the use of the identification fields that are stored with the data streams, wherein the retrieved data streams are provided based upon a request.

14. A method of recording a plurality of audio sources for archival and subsequent retrieval, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of audio sources, the plurality of audio sources being respectively associated with inputs and outputs from the plurality of users;
distributing the plurality of audio sources respectively to a plurality of workstations associated respectively with the plurality of users; and
independently recording the plurality of sources for subsequent playback, thereby reducing superfluous recordings of a particular source among the plurality of audio sources. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. One or more computer readable media having software program code for recording voice traffic associated with a plurality of operator workstations, the program code comprising:
-
distribution logic operable to receive a plurality of audio streams, the streams being associated with at least one of the plurality of operators, distribution logic being further operable to distribute the plurality of audio streams to those operators associated with the plurality of audio streams;
recording logic operable to tap the plurality of audio streams, the recording logic being further operable to record the plurality of audio streams independently for subsequent playback, wherein a number of superfluous copies of the plurality of audio streams is avoided. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)

26. A method of recording transactions in a trading room environment, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of data streams from sources used by traders while making trades;
identifying a recipient trader for the plurality of data streams;
distributing the data stream to the identified recipient trader;
recording the data streams destined for the identified recipient trader with a designation of the identified recipient trader, the data streams being recorded on a storage device configured for retrieval of stored data streams, and to provide the stored data streams over a network to one or more workstations based upon a request that uses the designation; and
wherein the recording step further comprises reducing superfluous copies of the data streams and storage space used by the storage device.
