This is a quick tutorial that will teach you how to change the speed of the noteservice mp3's to whatever speed you want (and still maintain good pitch--so they don't sound like chipmunks). You need to download two things. One is the program. The other is the mp3 encoder. Read on...it is fairly easy. Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/latest/audacity-win/audacity-win-1.2.6.exe
lame encoder:
http://www.webhostxpress.net/%7Emitiok/lame-3.96.1.zip
You install the first. Then, unzip the second and place the lame_enc.dll file in a secure location that won't be deleted (such as your c:\)
Open audacity, then, open an mp3 using file--->open. This should take about 45 seconds to import. Then, cut out the dead space at the front and end (highlight it, then, press delete or backspace). Then, press CTRL-A to select all the audio (or highlight it with your mouse). Then, go to effect--->change tempo. Type in 65 (this is 1.65 speed), or whatever speed you wish. Select OK, or whatever it says. This step should take the processor about a minute. Then, go to file--->export--->mp3. Create a name for your file. Then, hit save. As you do this, it will say that the lame_enc.dll encoder wasn't found and it will ask if you would like to find it. You do, so, search for the file that you put in c:\ or wherever you stored it. A tip...you should go to edit--->preferences--->file formats and change the bit rate to something that is more manageable. The default bit rate is 128, which will give you a HUGE file--so change it to like, 32 or 24. Anything less than that is difficult to hear at the increased speeds.
That should do it. Now, all you have to do is take the file, and drag it into a OneNote page. This will bring up a prompt--you want to embedd the file, not copy a hyperlink to it.
hit play, and take notes!
