Changing music is always a problem in remakes... sometimes it improves things, but...
For instance, Sword of Mana versus Final Fantasy Adventure. That put in new music while retaining the old themes, but even so, like the rest of the game, it didn't quite satisfy me and I was left thinking that despite the numerous ways that Sword was an improvement over FFA I can't help but like the original version better... such as the opening themes of both games, for instance. :) But it's always tricky, modifying a game, even if it isn't a full-on remake like Sword of Mana was... it's hard to change things without annoying longtime fans, and companies don't (and can't) always get it right.
