...even though, some of us who are musicians (and for the record, also
synth/keyboard players) had to suffer the Tape Data Dump thing pretty
well unto the 80s and so, since some synths only relied on that method
for loading/unloading data banks with patches and synth soundbanks back
then. Some equipment even had both options as Tape Dump, or usually
proprietary rom cartridges where to store sounds in (pretty expensive
and uncompatible between brands / synth models)
Now I wonder... I haven´t tried it yet (Even tho I still have a Yamaha
TX7 in shich I could do some testing myself), but isn´t there some
chance of degrading in the process of converting the tape data into a
CD, so the data may not come properly to the cd? I mean, some
soundcards tend to color the sound, thus altering the properties of the
data sent through them... I remember having to tamper with some
cassette players in order to have the data properly "dumped" into my
synths...
Just a guess...

I have found that many of my Macs can't read data CDs made on IBM
clones.
But my Macs can play(read) audio CDs.
