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? steve Green ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
