I have been searching for this track for decades, but I fear it is lost forever. My favorite 'mod' track, created with the Farandole Composer software.
Total scam from start to finish. Throw the book at them.
I hope I am overreacting, but my parameters for what I used to consider normal and possible have been shifted significantly and there seems to have formed a great open space of terrible possibility to be filled.

Simple, efficient, plays a wide range of formats (including FLAC, APE), auto-scans music folders, etc.
When you receive a Warfarin prescription, you begin very close monitoring that involves daily then weekly then monthly blood tests (for the rest of your life) to determine your dose and monitor the effect of the drug in your body. Someone choosing to take a lower dose because of 23andme results would be blatantly and intentionally disregarding the results of testing and the advice of their Drs. The 23andme result that you may be sensitive to Warfarin is something to mention at the outset of your treatment, and nothing more. Also, taking a lower than therapeutic dose of Warfarin would not cause an aneurysm, but would be more likely to cause a clot.
1) I dont see how 23andme results for Warfarin would in practice negatively effect a patients drug regime. 2) You seem to know very little about Warfarin and should take that into consideration when commenting on issues surrounding it.
Is this replacement worthy? What am I doing wrong?
It saddens me that the most common response these days seems to be some version of 'Let me list all the reasons why this is crap.'
What happened?
This line of argument is one of the most common attacks against the 'irrational snake-oil' that audiophiles purchase. Yet, I have to disagree. Its not that I believe that a $4k power cord has any/significant technical advantage over a $4 power cord. You used the words 'feels' and 'important'. The feeling of listening to a $4k power cord is clearly internal and subjective as is the determination of its importance. If the listener 'feels' that the $4k cord makes a difference, makes the experience better, then it has value to them and I think that they certainly have the freedom to assign how much importance it has. If audio is your passion, then perhaps there is real value, if perhaps only symbolically, to devoting large sums of cash to it in tribute. In my experience, audiophiles aren't simply gullible rich guys mindlessly blowing money on $4k power cords. Many have very deep relationships with music and with their stereo equipment. This relationship is often complex and rich enough that spending large amounts of money on a new 'X' would almost be like purchasing your wife a gold bracelet. Almost.
The idea was to create a classic MTV meets Youtube meets Pandora.
