The volume differences are probably one of the only reasons I can think of NOT to do what I'm contemplating. I wouldn't mix recorded music with live performances obviously.
Re-ripping isn't always an option though, or I would simply do that. Re-ripping (if that's even the right term) a cassette isn't going to produce the higher quality version a ripped CD would provide.
For example, an old cassette I had contained about 10 songs, 6 or so of which I also had on CD. What I'm wondering is, when listening to that CD, do I want all low quality songs or would I prefer to listed to the 6 at higher quality, and only the 4 I don't have a better quality version of at the lower quality?
What do you guys think? Would you want a consistent listening experience "within" an album?
What if you are searching for a song using iSub (iPhone app that uses Subsonic on the back-end) for example. If I simply want to hear a song, or let a friend listen to it, do I want to stumble across an old cassette rip, or a 320k version?
