Not sure how it would work in rap though. Rap is all about meter and rhyme, well, so is all music. Translate it and it doesn't necessarily work to the music or rhyme at all.

Exactly. You made all the points I could come up with so far. I think music is such a specific envorinment when sounds really need to be perfected and any minor flaws in that whole technology would easily eliminate it from any widespread usage in voice recording works. In casual speech such as movies, or radio for example, I guess it might work out way better. But we'll see.
