Interesting concept. I've owned the SE cassette tapes for ages (I always called them the best thing to come out of the SE), and never really had a problem with them. I've never really heard the CDs outside of the occasional mp3 rip. The idea that something sounds better definitely makes me want to look into it. Especially since I've been mostly using my Sansa of late. The record rips are a nice idea too. Though the use of the real Jedi songs is the best part, as I don't need to switch to my old 83 tape.
