I can sit in a classroom and be bored to tears, get me involved and I will be there for hours on end.  I know some people have taken a speed reading course but you know you can listen fast as well. If you are like me and many people are I will isten to the same thing over and over again.  This way you can do it fast then ever before.

here is what you do:

Down load or rip your information to be listened to by Windows Media.

Go to the "small" icon above the "pause" button and open the window for "Playing Options".

Select "Enhancements"

Select "Playing Speeds" and put the slider on 2.0 (2X times the play speed.

You can listen to the audio with pretty good tone quality and you can easily understand everything that is being talked about.

If you don't believe me try to listen for a few minutes, and  then go back to the regular speed and listen. You will find that you are more comfortable listening at 2X speed.

With a clear mind ready to learn, you should be able to get to 2.5X speed. Imagine listening to a 1 hour call in just 24 minutes or a half hour call in 12 minutes.
