You're probably quite right, but I was just pointing out the technical
difference, I wasn't saying that one or the other is better. That
depends on what one actually wants to do and on personal preferences.
I don't use AutoDoubler because I my system is too slow and I don't
have the patience to wait for compression/expansion.
