Most committed students would still turn up as obviously the lecture theatre is a chance to ask questions and also see the visual presentations often provided along side a lecture, also you get to see the nuances in the lecturer's face and body which can provide a subtext to what a person is saying.
I think having lectures available on itunes or any MP3 file is extremely helpful. It would be a definite advantage for people who are hard of hearing and find it difficult to both note take and listen to the lecture. Often this means those people resort to dictaphones but in a large lecture theatre the sound quality can be poor (unless you buy a very expensive model).
