Not sure if I've put this ugly script out there, but it's the only way I've found to re-encode my podcasts at fast speed so I can listen to them almost twice as fast (they talk fast, but not high-pitched like chipmunks). I've been using it a year or two and don't have too problems. Just don't trigger the script when you're going to be working on the computer because it will continually be stealing keyboard focus :)
It's a delicate script, and requires pre-setup in foobar before it'll work. It only works with foobar 0.8.3 not the newest version. You have to: - Install and setup foobar 0.8.3 - Enable SoundTouch (and possibly install it) under the DSP manager. - Under Soundtouch enable the tempo adjust and set the amount of speeding up you want (I have mine at 59%) - Under diskwriter uncheck "Always ask before writing" and Check "Same as source file directory" - Under the Diskwriter have the "output file name formatting" be: !1%_filename% - Set the lame output quality to your liking (I have 128big vbr with the parameters of "--preset 128 - %d" ) - Under Diskwriter, Processing section enable "Use DSP" Then you can download the script from: ftp://powerpro.dyndns.org/uploads/ppscripts/mp3.powerpro Use the command: [EMAIL PROTECTED](?"C:\My Documents\My Music\My Received Podcasts") To process files. !!!!!!!!!!NOTE: It processes all .mp3 (and .wma I think) files in the directory AND SUBDIRECTORIES, deleting the original file so be careful. Once you run it, you know that the file has been sped up because it renames the file by adding a !1 to the front of it and won't process those files again for speeding up so you can run it on folders as many times as you want and it'll just speed any one file up once. If someone else has a better method for speeding up sound files in batch form, or re-writes the script for the newer foobar please post it back to the list :) David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 "They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
