That's only 1.9% away from 512 (binary) MB -- I suspect within
amtapetype's margin of error.  I wonder if that drive writes
fixed 512 MB physical blocks, doing the appropriate buffering
internally.

Not that it matters much, as Jon said; just idle curiosity.

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
