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.

Hi Kevin, where have you heard that iOS has any limits on playback speed of an audio file?

to my knowledge there are no Apple-imposed limits on how fast you can process / play an audio file. Some of the built-in audio classes have limits but there are many ways to play audio on iOS as well as decoding files yourself.

So am just wondering if you have more info on this…

Thanks so much!

Cara :)

No, as IOS has fixed limits on playback speed and that is the one thing I worry about with regard to the new app. It has double speed but it's not as Good as speed 4 on the Stream which is double.

I like the physical buttons and the sturdy feel of the machine. Perhaps it is just a throwback to when I first started using talking books on cassette... Which was a big deal back then.

The 1 thing I do like about the new Stream is it's ability to be recharged via a USB connector this saving 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>
