Surface Pro 7 deal! Save big at Amazon right now
- I listen to sermons, lectures and audiobooks (wma/mp3) in WIndows and I usually use the playspeed settings to listen at up to 2x speed. I especially like that WMP speeds up the sound without changing the pitch.
Can an app be programmed for WP7 to do this? My brother does not have a Windows phone but is a computer engineer and programmer. He thought that perhaps Windows Phone would not allow that kind of 'access'.
What do you developers say, can it be done? Any takers to produce it? I personally really want the feature, and another brother of mine recently showed me that the iPhone does in fact have an app for that!03-23-2012 03:59 PMLike 0 - I listen to sermons, lectures and audiobooks (wma/mp3) in WIndows and I usually use the playspeed settings to listen at up to 2x speed.

The best hope for doing this looked like the SoundEffect class, because it allows for manipulating the samplerate of the sound file. I got a prototype working, I was able to slow down playback no problem. However when I tried to speed it up it's capped at a 48000MHz sample rate, which is pretty standard sound wise. So I thought about deriving a subclass based on SoundEffect and trying manipulating the value after it was initialized but the class looks locked down. I don't see a quick and dirty way to do this unfortunately.

Can audio playback speed be changed?
