If I have to wear headphones with it I prefer tapes... for some reason I have never found a CD player that has the same volume output as a tape player they always fall way short of my requirments. I use CD for ambient listening where the voices don't have to be played into each ear so I don't mind having both.

It seems everyone finds ways to convert them to suit their needs anyway so should LSC why add to the expense of additional reproductions? I'd be really put off if I had to spend money on a portable MP3 player just to make a course mobile. I understand that the Photoreading course will also become available on CD in due time.
