After going through most of the rest I settled on Elisa as a good amalgam if winamp and itunes UX. I didn't realise it is obscure judging by no mention of it here.

I would not be so sure with the 100%. France had a mutual defence treaty with Czechoslovakia in 1938. They not only chose not to honor it but U turned all the way and explicitly let Hitler occupy it.

Would you trust them in crunch time mere 90 years later?

Just to note that this site hasn't been updated for a while.

Much better, more modern and with automated upload analysis site would be [1] although it is designed for finding the highest fidelity resampler rather than AB comparisons.

Clipboard history? Screen recording? Polished web browser? And none of these are available on most distros?

I think you ought to try "most distros" before making such claims.

Sustain is not time, but level. How long the sound lingers before hitting release portion of the envelope is determined by how long you "hold the key"

Apple Digital Masters indeed recommends no clipping. But the program is based on Apple interviewing the process that to-be-certified mastering engineers use. There is a way where you can pass the interview, get certified and then decide that clipping sounds better/louder/whatever and the file will still get the ADM stamp.
