Speed up audio playback?

<< < (2/2)

mwb1100:
If you're not opposed to a command line app, I think that SoX (Sound eXchange) for Windows will do what you want:

Actually i meant his "guitar and drum trainer": http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65
it's kind of the opposite of what you want, can slow down songs etc.

It will speed up as well, but it's commercial software and not free. Also, it doesn't save the audio right now. It's all 'real-time-only' for slower or faster audio. I'm in the process of upgrading GDT and saving songs slowed down or speeded up is one of the new features.

Ha! Renegade, you were probably 'on target' with your first post.   :Thmbsup:   After a fair bit of tedious searching I've found this:

I'll have to give it a try tomorrow! This sounds like what I was looking for: shove it in one side and it comes out the other. Presto ... I hope   :tellme:

Interesting article.

One of the things I do in my own podcast ( http://www.dotnetpreacher.com/ ) is to cut out a LOT of dead time to shrink the time down. Nobody wants to listen to pauses or "umms" or any of that junk. It takes a lot longer to edit, but the result is just about 100% pure information with nothing to waste your time.

If you have an iPod, there is an option to speed up audio books by 25%, but it only "kind-of" works for podcasts. i.e. Some podcasts will work fine (e.g. Dot Net Rocks), and others will still be normal speed.
