Idee super, Rasterung des Timestretch noch etwas rauh.

Den Gedanken für dieses Programm finde ich super, für Musiker zum Üben z.B. ist ein Verlangsamungs-Tool sehr praktisch. Dafür war mir allerdings die Qualität beim Timestretching viel zu hakelig. Wenn das besser wird und man evtl. im Menü auch direkt Zugriff auf mehr Geschwindigkeitsstufen hat (z.B. nach Selbsteinstellung speicherbar), dann würde es vier Sterne geben. Bei Direkteinbindung in iTunes fünf Sterne. Sehr praktisch wäre die Darstellung, dass man nur auf das Symbol in der Menüleiste klickt, dadurch automatisch ein Regler für die Geschwindigkeit kommt (analog zum Apple Lautstärke-Menüregler), dann könnte man sich die Menüs sparen.

Schlechte Qualität

Die App funktioniert, dafür gerne einen Stern, ansonsten ist die Qualität einfach schrecklich, sodass man nicht viel davon hat.

Great Time Saver!

Simple and it works! (Although I dont understand why Apple didnt just build this into iTunes?) Previously, I used iTunes to manage podcast subscriptions, but I listened to them on my iPhone or in VLC (so I could control playback speed). Speed-Up saves me the time of locating the files and playing them via VLC *and* the reduced playback time. I really like the preference for choosing the speed presets *I* want to use. It took me a minute to figure out that Speed-Up requires OS X Sandbox Authorization for the actual media files, not just the iTunes folder (my media is on an external drive). After that it works great (10 podcast episodes, so far). Thanks!

Worked when first installed, now it does nothing

App seemed to work fine first time it was installed. A few days later I noticed it was doing nothing. The icon won’t show up in itunes bar (maybe not enough room?) but when I can find it, I can edit preferences and the settings, but it doesn’t affect the playback speed. WTH?

Echoes are unbearable!

I bought this app so I can listen to podcasts that had good contact but with slow speakers. This app doesnt distort the voice, but adds a HUGE echo which gets worse the faster we go. The echoes render the speaker incomprehensible faster than 1.5x.

iTunes の再生速度変更が簡単に!

iTunes で再生中に設定速度を変更するとそれに準じてリアルタイムで変更されます。これは素晴らしい! 変更できるメディアは、音楽、オーディオブック、Podcast、ボイスメモ。と対応もステキです。 メニューバーからのコントロールも出来るのでとてもアクセスも楽ちんです。 iTunes の再生速度は速くも出来ますが、私が試した限りは 0.1倍の超低速も可能。使い道があるかはわかりませんが(^_^;

Thank you!

You’re the best, guys. So simple. And it’s worked. 5 stars.
