I think that most people would find having the audio on CD to be easier
to use. Sure, it is less authentic, but more convenient. For one, you
can randomly seek to programs if you record each program as a track.
For two, CD's have a lot less problems with wow and flutter than dusty
old cassette decks, so there will be fewer problems loading due to
that. For three, it is kind of fun to have new technology serving old
technology.

Actually, as we discussed here years ago, I have converted almost all of
the PT cassette software to Wave files and burned them to CDs. In fact,
in about 2004 we got into an argument as to whether these would work if
they were converted to MP3's, and I did it, and they did work (e.g. burn
the MP3 files to a data CD, play them back in a portable CD player
capable of playing MP3 CDs). I have been including these files as wave
files on my $35 classic computer documentation DVD when requested, and
sometimes even on a separate CD (data or audio). It does work and today
it is more convenient.
