Podcast listening tipYou know how some podcasts have good little bits in them, but the host(s) drone(s) on and on and on? Here's how to power listen.
- Download Audacity. It's free and it's available for your platform.
- Get the mp3 onto your system. Open it in audacity
- Select all (Ctrl a or Apple a).
- From the menu, select Effect -> Change Tempo...
- Pick a value for how much to speed it up. 50% works for me. Click OK.
- Play your newly-efficient audio file.
I really wish iTunes and other podcast-listening programs would just include this feature. My mobile phone voice mail does this, and it can be a lifesaver. -m
I need to install such a feature on my blog, huh? ;)
