Hi Nancy: Although there is a Speed Setting in the Settings menu on the Book Port itself, it is only for the files that use the Book Port Double Talk speech. If you want to change the speed of MP3 files, you have to do it in the software, prior to transferring. See the Options menu of Book Port Transfer, under the Audio Options tab. We were not able to make this happen on the Book Port becuase of hardware, so we implemented it in the Transfer program, so you could at least have some option for changing the speed.

The exception would be if you want to process the file i.e. speed it up and a few other things I don't care about. This assumes mp3 files are constant bitrate files. And buy yourself a card reader otherwise copying files to the card using the bookport might take all day.
