Russ, I know the Sony ICD-U70. It has great speed control. One can speed up MP3 file playback up to 100 %. However, it's speaker is not really useable, it is much too soft.
You could check the Olympus DS-50. It has a built-in speaker and one can speed up MP3 file playback, max is 1,5x. The DS-50 also has talking menus. You can listen to a review from me via www.longus.info. On www.blindcooltech.com are also quite a few DS-50 reviews. Larry from APH talked extensively about the new BookPort in the last Main Menu program. If I understood him correctly, the new BookPort will only have the software features of the BookPort one, when it comes out. Playback speed control may not be available initially, it may become available later via a firmware update. <*** Michael Lang ***> You wrote: > Hi > What digital players are people using for listening to audio books in > mp3 format?
