["Stephen Green" <STEPHEN.TINA@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

now that Calibre are starting to send out talking books in MP3 format, I 
wonder if anyone can direct me towards a software player that will speed up 
the speech to about twice the rate.

I have ez reader from dolphin, but it will only work with daisy books, not 
MP3's.

so is there a software player out there which will play MP3 files at twice 
normal speed?

however, before you all reply saying that you can get a plugin for winamp 
which will do this, I ought to tell you that I use winamp constantly, and in 
order to stop it interfering with the music, I've set jaws verbosity to 
almost zero, and it's really a job adjusting the verbosity levels back , 
just so I can listen to the odd talking book.

I'm sure that veteran jaws users will be appalled at this, but rather than 
upset my settings, I would rather first look for an alternative solution.

most daisy software players have the facility to speed up the speech, but as 
far as I know, none will read straight MP3 files.

any ideas anyone?
