Sorry, no magic here. I've simply given in to the idea that analog upload is
all there is right now. However, I don't think that Win NMD is yet the ideal
tool. I'd like something a little leaner, like not requiring .NET, and
something with a little bit more polish on the UI. Furthermore, when I used
Win NMD, I had some issues with dropped samples. Perhaps a bit more effort
needs to be put into the soundcard to disk pipeline.
