I've always personally felt that the soundtrack Richard Jacques composed for the Saturn/PR version is superior to the original Jun Senoue one for the Mega Drive. Might it be possible if there's enough ROM space, if someone is able to arrange and sequence FM+PSG covers for it (I may volunteer) and if enough people, including Jon obviously, are interested in the idea, to have a switchable soundtrack selector in the menu, akin to the soundtrack selection on Christian Whitehead's Sonic CD remaster?

An option to choose the cd-audio soundtrack from the Saturn version would be a great thing!
Issues may consist of both the longer track size of the Jacques' music, and the fact you'd either need a good MD/Gens music composer, or accurate MIDIs of the entire soundtrack to import. Fans have tried but never completed such a project, which is a worrying sign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aOQIVicBBM
How about a Mode1 Sega CD feature (to play tracks form a CD?)
There are quite some hacks doing it now, like Rock'n Roll Racing Russian Hack.
