Well, my impression is that DRM is essentally stillborn. It's inspired
by the dream of making SW reception and audio sound just like FM.
However, it's not quite as good as FM on either count and it's a
bandwidth hog....oh, and there's that pesky problem of drop outs, which
is ultimately far more objectionable than fading. So, DRM is this
exciting new addition to the scene--that's not really quite as good as
either regular shortwave or FM in any of the respects that count.

I think the question is whether DRM even deserves a proper burial.
