Hi, Donald, Are you sher you're telling it right? The bit rate has nothing to do with the speed, the sampling rate does. The bit rate deals with resolution of dynamics and such. Instead, is this what you do: you record the nls tape at twice the normal speed and use a sampling rate of 32000, 16-bit and then, save the .wav file as a 16000kbps sampling rate and still 16-bit? Once converted to .mp3, that file would then play back at normal speed. Jay
