Re: Olympus DS50 Playback Speed
I just checked it: If you speed up or slow down an MP3 file, the playback will be in mono. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hello, If anyone on the list has an Olympus DS50, I'd be grateful if you could answer the following questions for me. I have heard that you can alter the playback speed of files on the DS50, increasing the speed to a maximum of 1.5 times.

RE: Olympus DS50 Playback Speed
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.

Re: Olympus DS50 Playback Speed
Yes, you can speed up and slow down MP3 and Audible files copied to the DS-50. I am not sure whether they are still stereo or not, but I believe they are still stereo. - Original Message - From: Caroline Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.
