At least then the playback level and speed is identical and repeatable every time, with no troublesome tape crinkles or dropouts to worry about.

I've never had luck feeding 8-bit computers with MP3 files from dedicated players or smart phones.
It seems they like good old fashioned cassettes (TDK D have fared well) or the modern SD card interfaces for the Sinclair computers.
Magnetic tape is a better archive medium than many would have you think. I can still load ZX81 cassettes I made in 1981, that's 38 years ago now!
