Not just more audio RAM, it had that Sony made midi synth in there that just sounded WAY above pretty much everything else at the time. LTTP, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4 and 6, I don't think the music in those would be nearly as good Genesis style.
As I said though, the Sega CD evened the score on that. Sonic CD had a vocal rockin' sound track that really was nice. They also did remakes of Echo and Earthworm Jim that had much nicer music. In Earthworm Jim's case, it's genuinly hard to decide which version was better. The SNES version still looked better with the higher color count, but the Sega CD version had better music.
Thanks for that list of addon chips. Considering the exact sequence of words, I find it hard to think I'd have been able to stumble upon that just by searching myself.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
