it's weird poking through the metadata in ancient tracker songs

most people didn't have the internet in the early 90s and there's just like, physical addresses and phone numbers in a lot of them. some walled-garden dialup addresses too

@jk Windows NT is weird like that. The underlying kernel is actually pretty well done (from what I hear), but Explorer is off in its own world in the same way WSL or Wine is, and it didn't evolve at the same rate as the rest so it ends up being slow or having a bunch of filename restrictions that aren't there in cmd.exe.

I think that's why they're so desperate to push the win10 store on everyone, everything else from the dawn of time calls into explorer to do stuff so they can't change it
