Hi Richard,
Interesting problem. Since you have a properly working set up at home and a
funky one at work, It might be fairly easy to determine if the problem is in
the work PC system or the work Bookport unit.
Here are some things to try to help pinpoint what's misbehaving.
1. You said you have a personal Bookport. If you attach it to the same
system that sent the slow sounding files to the other Bookports at work do
they come out sounding slow on your personal model?
2. If you bring a work Bookport home that is playing the slow files and
attach it to your home system and transfer MP3s to it, does it still sound
slow on the work unit?
Good luck,
Rich
