Well Stephen, the only thing that ocurs to me for a variable speed MP3 player,
given your take on pacemaker, is Windows Media Player 10, which does have
variable speed, pitch compensated playback.
Whether this will suit you, as a JFW user, I don't know, depending on whether
there are scripts around to cope with it. Otherwise I imagine its down to the
use of the JAWS cursor.
Incidentaly, last time I tried the Winamp Pacemaker plugin, which Stephen
doesn't like using, I found it crashed Winamp 5. Wonder if anyone else has
found this happening?

Subject: [access-uk] daisy software players & mp3 files
| 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?
