Speed up WMP playback

Posted on April 14, 2009April 14, 2009 by Alan

I get some technical podcasts via RSS that I listen to on my PC using Windows Media Player. Did you know that you can change the speed that WMP plays? For spoken word, I find that pushing the speed up to 1.4. A 15 minute podcast is cut to under 11 minutes. Within WMP select view > enhancements > play speed settings.
