@BigJackBrass And of course the publishers are allowed to abuse the rules in their favour all they want.
Several years ago, I had an edition of a piece of public domain music that had a copyright date in the 1990s on it. Fair enough, they're allowed to copyright a new edition. Except it was an […]

I do have tapes that aren't in Esperanto too... this one's in toki pona! It's a home-made one and quite possibly the only cassette of toki pona music in the whole world (please prove me wrong, I'd like to meet fellow toki pona retro tech enthusiasts!)

Not bad. The frequency is supposed to be as close to 3000 Hz as possible, and the wow and flutter as low as possible. I don't have a lab-grade test tape, so the w&f on the recording is unspecified and so the machine is actually performing quite a bit better than that already reasonable figure.

Top marks to Denon for the mechanism with the most easily replaced belt I've ever seen. It took me a while to pry the front of the case open, but once I'd done that I just had to remove two screws and it was right there. I was expecting it to take all day but I'm done in under half an hour!
