Adjusting speeds in Windows Media Player


I may be the last person on earth to discover this, but did you know that you can adjust the speed of your MP3 audio takes in Windows Media Player? It comes in handy for court reporters who want to adjust the speed of their MP3 audio takes.

Here's how you do it:

1. Open your MP3 in Windows Media Player.

2. Click on "Now Playing" to drop down the menu bar.

3. Click on "Enhancements" to drop down another menu Bar.

4. Select "Play Speed Settings".

5. Now you'll be able to see an area at the bottom of your Media Player which will allow you to select the speed you want.

6. Simply grab the little marker on the slide bar and move it to the right or left depending on the speed you're looking for.

I wish I learned this trick months ago. Now I can challenge myself with lists of briefs, phrases, and other audio that has become too slow for me!
