David and Michael, Thank you for your replies. It's a shame that the playback reverts to mono if you speed up a file, but for an audio book that would not be particularly important. Does either of you know what bit rates the DS50 can handle? The WS-320M seems reluctant to play MP3's recorded at less than 128 kbps sometimes.
