I wouldn't use anything but a straight digitization of the
audio, either, if it was a purely audio recorder. Turning
it to MP3 could yield mush in a spot and you'd never know it.
Many tape readers for PC-level machines were just doing zero-crossing
counting and other simple tricks. MP3 and other codecs are
aimed at making sound that pleases the ear, not other machines.
