thanks Kevin.
Just to let you and the list know, I've just
confirmed that the 2x speed is easily increased.
In fact, I just played a file at 8x. -And this
was without writing my own decoding method.
Just FYI! :)
Thanks a bunch and hope this helps!
Have a great weekend!!!

I've heard it from a few places but the one I
recall is from the developer of the Downcast app.
There are other speeds but 2x is about it. Some
apps will state it as 3x though.

do like about the new Stream is it's ability to

the need for yet one more recharger in the
bag. Still, it would be nice to have a talking
book handy for those times when your sitting
around with your thumb up your nose waiting for something or some one! <grin>
