Listening attentively when the Quran is being recited is better than reading along with the reciter, based on the general meaning of Allah's statement: "And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy." However, if reading along with a tape recording is for the purpose of learning how to recite, then there is no harm in that, and you will have the reward for reciting.
