What's the point of this. The PSX, like the Saturn and Sega CD all had the ability to play Redbook Audio which will always be better than midi generated music.

They're better because you can just pop them into a CD player and hear the music at least, but some of the best soundtracks on PS1 were MIDI.

They're better because the music isn't compressed in any shape or form, so the quality of the music is the highest possible (which what TC asks), so N64 doesn't have any chance to win.

MIDI isn't compressed. It's sequenced notes being synthesized by the DSP.

Where did I say that MIDI was compressed? I was explaining why RedBook audio have the maximum quality possible.

Redbook audio is a direct copy of the music while with MIDI you're creating music with an electronic component. It's pretty clear which one will sound closer to real life instruments.
