That's not *neccessarily* true. Tape will be more noisy, but may well have a
better frequency range than an MP3 file. MP3 compresses audio by stripping
out frequencies not deemed 'essential' for playback. Tape records all of the
frequencies within a specific range (depending on the quality of the tape,
of course).

Also, audio CD files are encoded as .aiff, not .wav.
