This implies that he assigns more value to worldly music than to the children's music which was prevalent in other children's media at the time. Quality to Rapso isn't class status of the music as the program features music of all kinds, but rather its per-existence in the media landscape. "Quality" is not an inherenty musical quality---he never implies that, say B.B.
