Larry:
I would like to see the quality of the "Time Scale Modification"
improved. When you speed up NLS books at all, the quality quickly goes
downhill. For me personally, it is a huge negative.

That certaintly would be a valuable one. There is a plugin for Firefox
called, I believe, Webvizum that does it, and it certainly would be
