Look, it's a freaking dictation format. The fact that it's even remotely

Absolutely right. Norelco designed the format for dictation machines,
not realizing that people would latch on to it as convenient format
for music storage. As it was, what manfactuers like Nakamichi were
able to achieve with the format was truly a miracle.

I've always wondered what might have happened if Norelco's engineers
had realized the potential of the format during the design stage.
They might have made different design decisions that could have
extended the life of the format in the marketplace.
