Here's a playlist with the top song off of each good album I've heard, that was released in 2007. I'm experimenting with this divshare free service. I might update this playlist periodically. If you want to listen to some tunes, just click the "playlist" blog label. Enjoy!

question: rapid play setting on media player apps

I got a question on rapid play settings on media player type apps. I sent the text out below to the Lifehacker editor.

Pls hit up the comments if you can answer my questions or have insight on this:
-----

I have a basic question on media players. Sorry to trouble you, but I think it's 1 that is very common & relevant to your readership, so I figure you might be interested in the question.

I enjoy using the "Play Speed Settings" in Windows Media Player (WMV). I found for podcast/speech/talkshow audio mp3s, I can save time by playing the mp3 at 1.4x speed.

However I hate WMP. WMP sometimes crashes or has other problems.

QUESTIONS
1 Does foobar, VLC or any other player have this "rapid play speed setting" for mp3s?

2 same question for video files, specifically .wmv & .dvr-ms. For instance, I use Windows Media Center to record the Daily Show, this way I can replay it later & skip commercials. It would be even better if I could play that Daily Show .dvr-ms file at 1.4x.

MediaMonkey

Lifehacker is proppin' this app MediaMonkey as an MP3 management app.

In the comments, a guy propped the open source/free app SnackAmp, & claims the app developer replies to emails with questions/bugs/requests/etc.

Windows Media Player stays crashing on me, so I've been using Foobar for playing mp3s & playlists. I might check out these other apps at some time.

As always the pain/time of investigating something that might be better, vs the limitation of the existing app/process.

free service to host & stream your mp3s

Lifehacker has a good article indicating there's a new category of free internet service, which will legally stream your mp3s.

Anyone have experience with this?

I opened an MP3Tunes account to check this out.

1 GOAT tennis player
