    The sad part of these cassette player remakes is that they don't have a Dolby NR (Noise Reducton) [1] system. I remember that without at least Dolby C-type NR, the sound from tape …

    Don't kill the messenger. I didn't say we shouldn't try. I'm saying that this will be a whack-a-mole problem and banning one mainstream service won't solve it.

    EMWM is really nice. Too bad that Wyaland will make alternative WMs like this one very hard to use and obsolete in the long run.
