Listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed
Authored by: dgold105 on Aug 28, '09 04:10:21PM

This has stopped working for me with Snow Leopard. Anyone know how to fix it to work?

Listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed

This seemed to fix it for me.

tell application "iTunes"
	pause
	set my_track to location of current track
	set my_seconds to player position
end tell

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	open my_track
	set my_movie to first document
	set ts to rate of my_movie
	set current time of my_movie to my_seconds * ts
	set rate of my_movie to 2.0 -- starts playing
end tell

On second thought, I took out the time scale part, instead of replacing it with rate (that wasn't quite right). This seems to work:

tell application "iTunes"
	pause
	set my_track to location of current track
	set my_seconds to player position
end tell

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	open my_track
	set my_movie to first document
	set current time of my_movie to my_seconds
	set rate of my_movie to 1.5 -- starts playing
end tell
