Polypropylene Film/foil are excellent for HiFi - I use them all the time.
Film/Foil is where the metal layer is actual real metal foil. It tends to make the capacitor larger than the "metalized" version but is reputed to be superior for HiFi. This is my experience as well, certainly I use ONLY polypropylene film/foil caps in my HiFi builds.
I redesigned the front end of my Solid State preamp to make sure I had enough DC across the input coupling cap such that the field never reversed. That allowed me to use a 50 cent component instead of a $20 "special".
Cheers,
Ian
