Nancy:

In the Book Port Transfer program, press Alt O to get to Options, then tab down 
to Audio options.  In order to see this tab, the "Send Audio Files as Music" 
has to be unchecked.

Pam, where do I find this:

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.
